The family sent Zhenghai away, and Zhaoshi also hired an art teacher for Huanzhu, who came to class every afternoon.Then, he made an agreement with Jingxian that he would go to Yuyao to see Instructor Yan.Jingxian felt a little regretful, "I'm so busy every day, I still haven't had time to make an appointment with Miss Lan Xin." Zhaoshi had no choice but to agree: "I will make an appointment when I come back, don't be in a hurry for a day or two." Jingxian muttered : "You're not young, why don't you be in a hurry. You child is not listening to me more and more." Zhaoshi didn't dare to say any more, but he didn't answer, and just packed his luggage for Yuyao.

Before leaving, Lianzhou was told to study hard and keep exercising, and to take care of her sister at school.At the same time, I was worried, and asked Huanzhu to supervise Lianzhou's study, practice calligraphy and not sleep late.Both children nodded in agreement.The maid Miantao came in and said: "Grandma has prepared some homemade food and two pieces of food for you to bring to your husband. Zhaoshi has too many things to worry about, but it's not good to refuse Jingxian any more. caught.

When I arrived in Yuyao, I found Instructor Yan’s home. The door was opened by a teenage boy with short hair and a tanned face. Unlike the children in the village, he was wearing a large coarse military uniform shirt, but the collar and cuffs were all tight. Grinding, Zhao Shi knew that this must be the son of Instructor Yan.The child looked at Zhaoshi for a long time and asked, "Are you looking for my father?" Zhaoshi nodded, and the boy said, "My father said he didn't see any visitors." Zhaoshi was a little anxious, "I'm not a guest, I'm his student. Please tell me Your lord, I heard that your master is not in good health, so it is right for a student to come and serve the decoction.” The boy tilted his head and looked at him for a long time, then said: “My father is not at home, he has gone to Longquan Temple to clean up.” Shi had no choice but to leave the things he brought, and rushed to Longquan Temple to look for Yan Ming.

Longquan Temple is a thousand-year-old temple, and the sound of the morning bell and the evening drum is faint. Zhaoshi met his mentor in the first small courtyard in the northwest corner.In just a few months, the person in front of him was no longer the instructor Yan he was familiar with.Instructor Yan, who used to have a straight military uniform and loved to wear riding boots, is still wearing a coarse military uniform shirt and trousers, but the shirt is not tucked in the trouser waist, and the discipline button is not buttoned. On his feet are a pair of old straw sandals, which look a bit sloppy.He carried two buckets of water to the backyard.Seeing the former proud student, he just nodded with a smile, and said, "Here you are?" Zhaoshi went forward without saying a word, but the pole in Yan Ming's hand lifted the bucket for him.Yan Ming did not refuse, and led him to a vegetable field in the back garden, and began to irrigate the field with water from the bucket.At the end, he said to Zhao Shi: "Go to the well in front of the yard and pick up two buckets of water, and put them in the main room." According to Shi Yiyan, he went to pick up water, and Yan Ming was already sitting in the main room with an extra bucket of water in his hand. Beads.

While turning the beads, Yan Ming asked: "Is there anything you want to say to me?" Zhaoshi thought for a while and shook his head: "There is nothing I have to say, I just came to see you." Yan Ming still had nothing Expression: "That person also read it, I have nothing wrong with it, you go back."

Zhao Shi was choked by Yan Ming's words and didn't know what to say. He turned around and saw a teapot on the table. He poured tea for Yan Ming and held it to him: "I have nothing to do. I'll stay here with you." Yan Ming Uncompromising, still reading his scriptures.Zhaoshi didn't speak, just stood in the main room.He stood until the sun was in the west before carefully asking: "It's too late, do you want something to eat? I'll do it." Yan Ming shook his head: "Practitioners don't eat after noon. If you are hungry, eat by yourself Get some food." Zhaoshi had no choice but to curl his lips: "Then I'm not welcome." After talking, he wandered around the kitchen, how did he, the young master, know about cooking and cooking, so he had to touch the bamboo basket. Two tomatoes and a cucumber were rinsed with water in the yard, chewing and chewing.While holding a cucumber in his mouth, he asked, "Can I read the books on your shelf?" Yan Ming nodded lightly: "Don't ask me, you can do it yourself."

Zhaoshi didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Yan Ming's gourd, so he lingered around the bookshelves. Most of the shelves were filled with scriptures.After Yan Ming read the scriptures, he stretched his muscles and prepared to sit up.Zhaoshi also got up, and while helping him up, he asked: "Are you going to rest? I went to fetch water to clean your face and warm your feet." Yan Ming asked: "What are you doing? I am used to it by myself. I don’t need anyone to serve you.” Zhaoshi smiled and said, “I heard that you were in poor health and went back to your hometown to recuperate. I wanted to serve you with soup and medicine for two days, and I did my best as a student. Now It seems that your health is fine, and I will serve you in your cultivation just like that." Yan Ming picked up the scriptures copied by Zhaoshi on the table, and nodded, "It's rare for you to have this kind of heart, then help me copy a few scriptures Let’s move on. I don’t need Sun Tzu’s Art of War anymore, but this Diamond Sutra is still useful.” Zhao Shi said in his heart, “Test me with the copied scriptures? Nothing else, I’m afraid Shen Zhaoshi can’t sit on a chair better than your Instructor Yan Difference."

He waited on the horses and horses according to the stone saddle for seven days, and copied a lot of scriptures, from Han Li Wei Bei to Ou Liu Yan Zhao, he practiced them all with great interest.In the end, Yan Ming couldn't bear it any longer. He knocked on the wooden table and said, "You're a great kid. If there are any problems you can't solve, or things you don't understand, just tell them honestly, and don't hide them from me." Zhaoshi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, snickered a little, put down the brush in his hand, and asked Yan Ming first without talking about himself: "Instructor, aren't you recuperating? Why did you come to the temple?" Yan Ming waved his hand: "Do you think you are the first to come to see me? There are many people who miss me. I am impatient with them, so I hide here quietly. Those who came to see me for business, inquired at my house that I was not there, and went back to deal with business. Those who are a little friendly may come here to have a look, maybe they will stay with me for a day, and then leave. Cheng Nan stood here for two days, and I couldn't see it, so I left. You are still the best kid, anyway, it depends on you This is not to persuade me to go back, just tell me if you have anything to say." Zhaoshi's eyes flashed, and he smiled slyly, Yan Ming noticed this little move, but he didn't say anything.He poured a cup of tea for Yan Ming, and then said: "Instructor, I want to leave the National Revolutionary Army." Yan Ming curled his lips, "You are not enough? There is a brother-in-law who is the deputy commander of the army, and the front is still suppressing Bandits, you’ve been here for seven days.” Zhaoshi frowned and said, “You know what it means to suppress bandits, but I just don’t want to do it. So, I want to leave the army, or you can tell me, Let me serve you." Yan Ming patted the table, and the teacup jumped up, "Fart, you are a deserter, do you know that? Come and serve me? Why don't you say you are going to be a Communist Party?" Zhaoshi was taken aback, and he was a little confused when he looked over. He didn't expect Yan Ming to bring up this matter so directly.He didn't want to talk back to Yan Ming, so he lowered his head.Yan Ming refused to let go, "You try to lower your head again?" Zhaoshi immediately became nervous and did not dare to sit still.Yan Ming grabbed the half-drunk tea bowl on the table and put it on his head. Zhaoshi had to maintain a military posture and stand upright.

Yan Mingying stared at him with eyes like: "I know what you're thinking. You mean I've become a deserter too, why bother to scold you? You know what the hell! He Lao Jiang asked me to call Jiang Pu, how should I call him? What did I tell Jiang Pu? Didn’t I force him to death? I have an old disease in my leg? My leg is fine, but it’s because he has an old disease in his heart! Let me take care of it, and I will take care of it. His Lao Jiang’s When the heart disease is cured, I will be cured of this disease."

Zhaoshi's heart was overwhelmed, he didn't dare to say a word, he stood upright, all the muscles in his body were tense, he was very tired, and beads of sweat dripped down his neck.Yan Ming snorted, "Just tell me, what else is there for you? If that's what you're doing, you won't open your mouth today. If you stay with me every day, you'll save yourself the scolding." Zhaoshi didn't expect that Yan Ming could see even this layer, and he always felt that he was hiding well.He became nervous and his body shook a little, Yan Ming patted him, "Stand up!"

Zhaoshi held his breath, stood up again, looked ahead and said: "Instructor, I met Li Guofeng, he is in Nanchang. Their guerrillas are very short of supplies, so they sent him to Nanchang to do underground work and get military supplies." Yan Ming asked: "That bastard asked you for money and supplies?" Zhaoshi was about to nod, remembering the tea bowl on top of his head, and replied: "Yes." Yan Ming sighed: "Injustice, injustice! It's all so good My son, you have become political cannon fodder. He didn’t tell you to join the Communist Party?” Yan Ming remembered the light in Zhaoshi’s eyes, took down the tea bowl on his head, and kicked his buttocks, “You The kid has grown up, come and test me!" Zhaoshi was caught off guard, staggered, rubbed the place that hurt from being kicked, and grinned: "What you taught, the king will lose his minister, and the minister will not How dare I say such a big thing lightly, right instructor?" He specially emphasized the word instructor, dragging out a long ending sound.

Yan Ming didn't take it seriously, "You don't need to pour honey soup on me, you actually already have the answer in your heart, so why bother to ask me." Zhaoshi was seen through again, and he scratched.Yan Ming suppressed a smile: "Okay, you are also seeking insurance, I understand. Such a decision is not easy to make." He then said: "Boy, remember for me, I don't care about the things between your classmates. Intervene. I will tell you a word about your affairs. You have to go on when you choose your path. Don’t let me think you are a son who can’t bear to be wronged. There are some things that you don’t want to see, hear or do, but You have to bear it, because there are more important things waiting for you, do you understand? As I said before, there is no shame in surviving on the battlefield. Only when you save your life can you fight again. Sacrificing your life casually is no different from deserting soldiers Woolen cloth."

Zhaoshi understood what he meant.Sit down, lick the pen again and start copying scriptures.Yan Ming grabbed the brush and smiled: "Stop pretending, you have copied these days, enough for me to read for a long time. I am old and my memory is not good." Then he asked: "What did that kid Guofeng tell you? "Zhaoshi laughed out loud: "He said he has known a rich man like me all his life, and he doesn't know who to look for if he doesn't look for me." Yan Ming laughed loudly: "This is the truth." Zhaoshi said : "You know, I'm a Bodhisattva in a painting. Although my family has money, it's not in my hands. It's okay for me to give him a wife with the little money, but the military supplies are enough~" Speaking of marrying a wife, Zhao Shi's heart was ruthless. It hurt badly.Although he used the banner of Li Guofeng, talking about such a decision, he actually cared more about Xiaozhen.It seems that with his help, Xiaozhen can be safer.
