Chapter 36： Ancient book

Liu Yuyang quickly ran back with a basket of squats. Chen Pingan was watching the grounding of the wells next to the well. Liu Yuyang was a pair of Chen Ping’s buttocks. He was a little dog and he was almost a dog. Did not care. Liu Yuyang said loudly: "Things have become, Master Shi said that let me go these days, honestly, don't run around here, dug wells during the day, hit iron at night, after ten and a half, I will be the first one in his town. Apprentice, I’m yelling at the mountain disciple. I’ve got you a basket to help you touch the stone, touch it from the blacksmith’s shop, touch the bridge, say it in advance, the place where the green cow is back. I can't help you with the puddles. Master 说 said that I dared to cross my legs in the north and west of the bridge, and interrupted my legs."

Liu Yuyang smashed the neck of the sandals boy and whispered: "The master said that the town will not lose things. He also said that those foreigners who follow a very strange rule and do fair trade are also doing it. The swindlers who have been deceived by the swindler can even do the tricks of smashing cockroaches. They can’t do sneaky thieves thieves. They say that God will not fight and won’t close your eyes. Just stare at us, you say swearing. It’s not awkward, anyway, I’m panicked.”

Liu Yuyang suddenly threatened: "The surname Chen, my house, you can continue to live, but don't wait for me to go back, you have sold the treasure of my family!"

Chen Pingan slammed into the chest of Liu Yuyang, and the young boy quickly slammed his hands. After a few sighs, he sighed and sighed. He said: "Small bamboo monkey like a thin bamboo, how come the strength! Is it three feet away from Yao Laotou? If you walk a hundred miles of mountain roads in the next five years, or if you cut wood in the mountains for a few months, you will be able to gain strength in the dead?"

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "I am carrying a basket of stones anyway, but I can run back to the town before you."

Liu Yuyang squinted: "Which one is better than who is in the water?"

Near the stream, Chen Pingan rolled up his pants and said: "I only do nothing more than one breath."

Before entering the water, Chen Pingan pulled out a lot of creek spring grass mats in the basket, and said that after every twenty stones, they would have to put some grass. Liu Yuyang was annoyed to smash the basket behind him to Chen Pingan. The latter did not agree, saying that if he changed his own back to the basket, according to Liu Yuyang’s kind of scorpion, he would definitely throw stones into the basket, and he would feel bad. Liu Yuyang almost got to pick the son on the spot. These colorful stones have never been worthless for thousands of years. How come to you, Chen Ping, is Jingui? Still dare to dislike Liu’s technique is not gentle enough?

Only in the end, the tall boy is still reluctant to touch the groundwater, Chen Ping and one of the left and right, intend to sweep this creek thoroughly. The stream here is still mostly knee height, some of them are slightly higher, only the water level and waist, and occasionally there are small puddles waiting for people, most of them are the gathering places of megaliths. At these places, it is time for Liu Yuyang to show his talents. First, the basket was taken off and handed to the sandals and teenagers on the boulder. He sneaked into the bottom of the water, and took out the snake gallstone he wanted from the big stone gap of the giants and even the layers of stone piles.

Of course, Chen Pingan can also do it, but it will be very hard, and it will take more time and effort than Liu Yuyang.

I haven't touched the covered bridge yet, and the basket is full of seven or eight points. Among them, there is a dark green snake gallstone. Liu Yuyang touched it three times in the bottom of a deep pit. It was difficult to touch it. It is as big as a palm and mixed with gold. The stars are a little bit, there are water-like lines, the stone is firm, and the hand is extremely heavy. When Chen Ping’s hands are rubbed, there is a sense of swaying and splashing.

As long as it is not a scorpion, you know that this stone is very unusual.

The last two teenagers sat side by side on a boulder in a stream. Liu Yuyang held his hands on the stone surface and looked at the slowly flowing stream. He asked: "Chen Ping, do you want to leave the town in the future?"

Chen Pingan replied: "I haven't thought about it for a while. I have to have money when I go out, and after I leave, how can I do it, and no one can help me clean it up? What if I am squatting? And my mother’s grave is over there. I also need to pick up weeds often."

Liu Yuyang reluctantly said: "How do you always think so much useless things, it is boring, no wonder that Song salary shows that you are the life of ghosts hitting the wall, and you can't go out in such a fart place."

Chen Pingan turned and smiled and asked: "Do you remember the last thing I told you about, that tree."

Liu Yuyang did not have a good air: "The grave has a tree, it is also worth making a fuss? Again, it is also the grave of another ancestor of Chen's family. There is no relationship between you and Chen Pingan!"

Chen Ping sat cross-legged and whispered softly: "I don't know the number of people surnamed Chen outside the town."

Liu Yuyang dismantled the platform: "I don't know outside the town. I only know that in the town, there are only three cats and puppies in the name of Chen, and it seems that all of them are the family of the four family members. The slaves of generations, the funny thing is that these people are used as cows and horses in the house, bowing their heads, but as long as they have gone out of the big houses, they will change their faces immediately when they see everyone, and they like the dog eyes to see people low. So Yao Laotou That's right, if you are going to give them the right people someday, then you Chen, who has not moved out of the town, will be completely ruined."

According to Yao Laotou, the person named Chen first had two in the town, but one of them moved out very early. Chen Ping’s branch was also strong before, but this “before” was too long. Even Yao’s old man said it was a few hundred years, five hundred years, eight hundred years? Still a thousand years? Later, it was divided into several rooms, and the people were getting scarcer. The luck was probably taken away from the one who moved outside. The incense was often broken, so that many graves were gradually ignored, plus the hills where most of the graves were located. The governor, who was sent by the court in succession, ordered it to become a mountain of ban.

When Yao Laotou brought Chen Pingshan into the mountain for the last time, he passed through one of the hills and pointed to a place to show him that it was the burial place of another ancestor of Chen’s family. The tomb was on the mountain and the feng shui was very good. As for Chen Ping’s branch, Yao’s old man said that the gods could not find it. In the past few hundred years, the descendants of this surname Chen have not made a living, and they have broken down, except for the death of the four surnames. Doing nothing, nothing.

Chen Pingan once secretly went to the grave of Chen’s ancestors. The result came to the place, just weeds. I also saw many fox rabbits, that is, I didn’t see the graves. There was a tree that the straw shoes boy could not recognize. It is much shorter than the old banyan tree in the town.

Overgrown with weeds, fox rabbits, lonely and bitter, a tree alone.

Chen Ping shook his head and said: "Before my mother left, I want to swear, I can have dinner, even if I am starving, I will not allow me to give to those big families."

Liu Yuyang blurted out and said: "Before your mother died, it is not for you to swear, absolutely can not go to the dragon kiln as an apprentice?"

The grass-shoes boy’s face was stunned, there was no rebuttal, and he was not angry after being uncovered.

Liu Yuyang is a bit embarrassed. It is not the kind of temper that he is willing to say "sorry" after doing something wrong. He has to pretend that nothing has happened. He got up and said: "Go away, dig well, right, I will follow the master." Grinding a grind, trying to get you here as a short-skilled apprentice, it is easy to touch the stone at that time."

Chen Pingan said: "No hurry, wait for the two people to leave the town and say, I will help you watch the house during this time."

Liu Yuyang curiously asked: "Why do you say that I am going to learn from the master of the school, can I escape?"

Chen Ping thought for a moment and was not sure: "Like it suddenly rains, you have to find an eaves to hide?"

Liu Yuyang turned his head and looked at the sword furnace iron shop. "Who do you say, Master 阮, look at people who are not as powerful, can you hold the two people?"

Chen Pingan comforted: "People can't be seen."

Liu Yuyang turned and said: "You Chen Ping looked like a poor man, then are you poor?"

Chen Pingan pouted, nothing to say.

Liu Yuyang stood up and asked, "Would you like to help you back to the bridge?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said: "No, no heavy."

"Remember to return the basket to me next time."

After Liu Yuyang finished this sentence, he jumped directly down the boulders and walked fast in the stream, splashing numerous flowers.

Chen Pingan picked up the basket and carefully took down the huge stone. After landing, he slowly walked over to the bridge.

After Chen Ping’s walk for a while, he heard a footstep behind him and turned to look at Liu Yuyang.

In the early spring, under the sunshine, the tall teenager snatched the basket of the sandals and teenagers. He picked up himself and turned his head and said: "Looking at you carrying the basket, it is like a small grass with a big stone. It is really pitiful. Kindhearted, help you back to the bridge and say."

In the spring breeze, the two teenagers walked together.

"The surname is Chen. In the future, if I have a good academic performance, I must go out and have a look. I will find a wife who is better than Jungwe, who drinks the most expensive wine, lives in the biggest house, and rides the fastest horse. !"

"I am going to see the mountains as high as the sky, to see the numerous rivers that are bigger than the creeks."

"In short, my Liu Yuyang will never stay here to die in this life."

In the spring breeze, tall teenagers are looking forward to the future, and the sandals and teenagers are chewing on the grass roots. One said, one listens.

Chen Pingan returned a basket of stones back to the courtyard of Liu Yuyang's home. He still chose the few stones that he liked the most, and got the partial house. The rest remained in the kitchen. After locking the door and the courtyard door, I ran to the mud bottle lane and went to my own yard. I saw the girl in black sitting in the yard and basking in the sun. After Chen Ping’s greeting, she began to decoct.

The next door has been screaming and slashing. This is very strange. Although Song’s salary has said that there are no days for the outsiders to see the mother, but for so many years, there has been no shortage of food and clothing, and even the hand is always very affluent, dare not say that the younger brother in the house of the four surnames It’s a good life, it’s not worse than the ten-family children. The four treasures of the study, the desk’s elegant play, the study room’s clear supply, and many luxury items that Chen Ping’an has never seen or heard, are the same as the Song’s salary house. Moved inside. In fact, the Song salary has never really been dirty and physically active, the pickles are too stinky, the Song salary is not allowed to be done by the female, and the wood is too tired. The Song salary is bought directly by a bundle. Burning matches, a bag of charcoal.

When Chen Pingan gave the black girl a medicinal soup, the next courtyard was still intermittently chopping firewood. When Chen Pingan was drinking medicine at Ning girl, she could not help but walk to the wall of the courtyard and looked at it, and found that Qiugui was squatting. The chopper, in the slashing of "one person", is the embryo made of wood. Chen has been burning porcelain for many years. Many good things have been seen. The trees that have been cut are countless, so I can see the depth at a glance. The color of the wood is like jade, it must be a very old object, and the puppet is covered with dense red dots and black puppets. The puppet has been chopped and shackled by the child, and it has become a lot of cuts.

The girl suddenly turned her head and found Chen Pingan. She was sweating and stained. She raised her arm and wiped her face. She smiled and said: "You are back, I wanted to borrow a hatchet from you, but The guest at your house is not willing to open the door for me."

Chen Pingan snorted. "I will give you a hatchet. I don't want to use too much force at first. The hatchet is no more than a kitchen knife. It is easy to slip, don't hurt yourself."

The girl sat on the small bench and was exhausted and waved: "Know it, hurry up and get it."

Chen Pingan retrieved the hatchet. The girl was already standing on the wall of the courtyard. She smiled and asked, "Do you know what it is?"

Chen Ping shook his head and said: "I don't know."

Qiu Gui did not give an answer, turned and continued to sit on the small bench and slashed hard.

Her unfamiliar and stagnation movements, as well as all kinds of unsatisfactory mistakes, I saw that Chen Ping was very anxious, but since people did not ask for help, Chen Ping did not make himself passionate. He turned around and found that Ning girl was no longer in the yard. Chen remembered something, walked quickly to the house, put the same thing on the table, and put it on the opposite side of the black girl.

It is a snake stone, just one hand in the palm of the hand, like a piece of frozen solidified honey, fine texture, very positive color.

Ning Yao is a bit strange.

Chen Pingan smiled and said: "Ning girl, send you."

The black girl who didn’t leave the knife suddenly asked: “Do you like this one most?”

Chen Pingan is somewhat embarrassed. "This is about the fourth place. The best three, I have already hidden."

She took the stone, rubbed her fingers, raised her head, and the light entered the room through the window, reflecting on the stone.

She looked up, rubbed her eyes and carefully observed the delicate lines of the stone.

She looked at the stone.

The teenager looked at her.

————

In the middle of the night, a teenager sneaked into the mud bottle lane, such as the wild cat night walk, silent, quietly came to the courtyard of Gu Yujia, he found the big water tank that was placed in the corner of the yard, and found the original pile The neatly arranged snake gallstones have been picked up by people, as if this person knew the value of the stone earlier than Chen Pingan. Gu Yu is the only freak in the town who likes to collect snake gallstones, and no matter how much he finds in the creek, he only takes one piece home at a time. The child only picks the most pleasing stone, and after a long time, he will take five or sixty. A block of stone used by him to block the gap in the bottom of the tank.

After Chen Ping safely removed many snakes and gallbladders that had dried up, they saw no traces of excavation at the bottom of the tank, which made them relieved.

He began to use his right hand to dig a little bit. At the end, when he touched the butter paper, his heart shook and slowed down.

Finally, he took out the object wrapped in butter paper and looked like a book.

After hiding in his arms, Chen Pingan re-filled the soil and carefully looked at the snake gallstones. The remaining stones were "dead". Compared with Chen Ping’s two new stones from the creek Whether it is color, texture or weight, it is completely different. The stones in front of you are like a dead old man, and those who are picked up by Chen Ping are like a newborn baby, full of vigor.

Chen Ping thought about it and planned to leave Mud Lane in the direction of his home.

When he walked to the door of the Song Collection, he heard a bang and the door opened. Chen Ping had to pretend to knock on his door and shouted: "Ning girl, have you slept, I am coming back to get something."

The lights in the house soon lit up, and the black girl opened the door to Chen Ping.

Next to the other side, the prostitute Qiugui slowly walked out of the house. After arriving at the yard, she saw the shadow of Chen Ping’s side. She held a large yellow book in her arms. She shook her head and groaned, as if she happened to have caught it. A pair of dogs for men and women.

She walked alone in the mud bottle alley and bounced.

Her golden yellow weight is particularly cold and sacred in the night alley.

Let the slender girl look like a dragon walking in a narrow stone crevice. It seems that as long as she walks out of the alley, she must go to Jianghualong.

————

Although Ning Yao let Chen Ping into the yard, even into the house, but her face is very unsightly, sitting at the table, an arm against the scabbard, fingers gently tap the handle.

After Chen Ping’s decision to enter the alley, she explained: “I went to Gu Yu’s house to take things. As a result, she just went out, I had to come here to hide, Ning girl, you must not Think more."

She asked: "What?"

Chen Pingan hesitated for a moment and pulled out the butter paper bag. "I don't know now."

She turned and said: "You should open it yourself and decide whether you want me to know."

Chen Ping nodded, sitting across the table, opened a layer of butter paper, and continued to have mud on the table, and finally revealed an ancient book.

There are only two words on the cover of the ancient book. Chen Pingan only knows one of the characters, Shan.

He put the ancient book on the table, turned the direction, pushed to the black girl, curiously asked: "Ning girl, what does this word read?"

The girl turned around again, bowed her eyes and said, "Oh."

The title of the book is Lushan.
