Chapter 178

It took an overnight train to get to Old Man Lin’s hometown. When he got on the train, it was still early in the morning. Li Quan, who had nothing to do, was carefully reading the "Essentials of Expelling Evil and Strengthening the Health". This ancient book has yellowed pages and handwriting. Maybe it’s hard to see, it’s very blurry, the vertical version is fine, there’s nothing particularly bad about it other than accidentally skipping lines. When Li Quan was in school, he would secretly read the stand-up version of martial arts novels in most of the boring classes. , is also a vertical version of traditional Chinese. You have to read dozens of books in a semester. Even if you don’t know the traditional Chinese characters, you can always guess it based on the context. However, the Taiwanese version of the novel has punctuation marks!Old man Lin's book has no punctuation at all, not even the simple punctuation mark "judu" that appeared in the Ming Dynasty!

This is the death of my dear. The words that I might have guessed, without punctuation marks, cannot be connected to the context at all, not to mention many nouns involved in it, the name of a certain medicine, the name of a certain power, and the name of a certain power. The name of this spell, what a guess... Li Quan looked at it with difficulty, and couldn't stand it anymore, so he asked old man Lin, while Xiao Ling sat leisurely and played with his mobile phone, really in the rhythm of going out for a trip , She scrolled through Moments for a while, went to Weibo again and posted something, swiped the webpage a few times, and finally watched two episodes of the movie, turned around and found that Li Quan was still flipping through the ancient book seriously, couldn't help but Out of curiosity, she came over to read it, and found that this worn-out book was at least a hundred years old, and there were many words on it that she didn't recognize. She tilted her head and asked Li Quan, "Do you understand?" Although she didn't understand it very well, my sister How could he show timidity in front of him, Li Quan adjusted his glasses and forced himself to be calm: "It's okay."

Xiao Ling said with a smile: "Our school used to have a major in Feng Shui, you really should study that major."

What?Do institutions of higher learning still have this major?Shouldn’t there be all kinds of atheism in our school, or we should go to seminary... Li Quan was shocked, “What kind of university is this? It also teaches Feng Shui? Is there a graduation package assigned, what is the employment direction, are the professors blind? , or is it inverted?" A series of questions like a cannonball were enough to express his shock.Seeing the shocked expression on his face, Xiao Ling couldn't help laughing: "Why are you so surprised? Of course it's not a pure feng shui nonsense magic stick professional." I have always been free and unrestrained to say whatever I want, so I didn't care, and continued to say: "Our school is engaged in architecture, and the major involves the direction of the emperor's mausoleum, where is the emperor buried? Burying, they are all very particular, such as Qinglong Bureau and White Tiger Bureau, one sword to break the heart, two dragons to embrace the moon, three talents and eight ranks, as well as killing people and harming people, cutting dragon veins and so on. Interesting old-fashioned things, no matter young or old professors like to talk about it in class, students also love to listen to it, even if they don’t call names, the venue is full, the more they blow, the more energetic they are, and they can only stand when they are late It’s really good to listen to it outside the door, I’ve heard it before, it’s super fun, hey, by the way, speaking of university, what’s your major?”

Li Quan turned his head silently: "Bagua professional."

"Ah, gossip? Is it the gossip from the Five Elements, Eight Diagrams and Fengshui?"

"It's not...it's gossip in a derivative sense, gossip, gossip news, heck, I'm a journalism major." Li Quan couldn't help but feel sad when he thought of his major. Now he couldn't find a job and shed tears. , It’s all the water in my head when I applied for volunteers. I really went all over the recruitment and wept.

"Very good, what about the uncrowned king." Xiao Ling fluttered her long eyelashes. After all, even if she can't really work in journalism, she can still do jobs like forum editing, WeChat official account operation, and Weibo big V operation. , Don't they all do that now?

"I can't find a job." Li Quan looked up to the sky and sighed.

Xiao Ling was puzzled, and asked, "How could it be? It's so easy for boys to find a job now. I have a friend whose unit is recruiting. Although they can't specify boys, girls' resumes are thrown away after they are accepted." I went to the side to do waste paper. I also said that the patriarchy there is too much. He said that he can't help it. The people hired are to carry the camera. It's not the home DV we go out to play, it's a real TV station. The shoulder-mounted camera for the location is big and heavy. If you are a strong man of 1.8 meters, you can even lower your education. Although a figure like yours is thin and thin, it is still much stronger than a girl."

The more reasonable Xiao Ling said, the more Li Quan felt that he was so useless and useless, he sighed again:

"Oh, but the name of my school has the word agriculture in it. The Agricultural University of N City... I was put out by the HR sister at the resume level. They always asked me why I went to the Agricultural University to study journalism. Why don't I ask the principal? , Why is there a journalism department in the Agricultural University? Is it my fault that there is a journalism department in the Agricultural University?"

"This... is a difficult problem, then why don't you apply for the journalism department of the comprehensive university? Or apply for the agriculture-related majors of the agricultural university?"

Li Quan was at a loss for words for a while, and after moaning for a long time, he finally told the truth: "Isn't it because the score line of the journalism department of the Agricultural University is low..." What he didn't say was that even if the score line was shockingly low, he also brushed aside. He is really too good at subjects. He originally thought that he was in a liberal arts class anyway, so he didn't need to take math, physics and chemistry, so he boldly and completely left science behind. Unexpectedly, in his sophomore year, the Education Committee suddenly It was announced that the classification system for arts and sciences would be cancelled. There are nine courses, regardless of gender, age, arts, and science. Everyone has to take the test, and no one can skip it.

Others still have time to strengthen tutoring and pick it up, but he doesn't even have to pick it up. He has money to eat, but he can only stare at the paper in a daze. Language, no question will be.

So, of course, the college entrance examination is a perfect test.

A person who doesn't like studying meets a university that opens classes in order to make money. The two sides match each other, but the result is that they can't find a job at all: "So you devoted yourself to the great XX cause without hesitation?"

Li Quan sighed: "Do you think I want to, but after submitting resumes for so long, there is no result? I have to do something, otherwise everyone will be useless."

"What about your classmates? They are all journalism students from the Agricultural University. Don't they have jobs?" Xiao Ling asked.

Speaking of this matter, Li Quan sighed even more. The people in that class, except him, were all well-connected at home. They were either rich second-generation or demolition upstarts. The poorest classmate's family was also at the tens of millions level. , They are all waiting to get a diploma, go abroad and hang around.

"Most of my classmates are no longer in China, and they continue to play happily abroad. Hey, I have lowered the consumption level of the whole class. Let me tell you a story. A classmate of mine took the dog for a walk in the morning and passed by At a car dealership, I just happened to catch up with someone picking up a new Hummer. He bought a new Hummer for 140 yuan! He hadn’t moved it yet and was going through the formalities when the teddy peed on the tires and painted the territory. This is great. , the owner of the car quit. Although there is nothing unlucky about dog urine, and there is no substantial damage to the tires, it is a new car after all. I asked my classmate what to do. My classmate took out his card and said that the car He bought it!! He bought it!! A car worth 140 soft girl coins! Just buy it when you say it, just like asking for an extra egg when we go out to eat pancakes in the morning, without hesitation at all, I don’t want to ask for an extra egg now I can’t even afford pancakes anymore, and if I can’t find a job anymore, I can only drink northwest wind.”

This world was originally like this, but it was not because of the failure to choose a special subject in junior high school that led to the lack of majors in the college entrance examination, and finally fell to the present situation. It is true that everything in fate is marked with a good price. Back then, the happy partial subject, Be unemployed now.

Xiao Ling couldn't think of anything to persuade those who committed crimes, so he lowered his head and played with his mobile phone.

Silent all night.

The train arrived at the station. This is a small station. The station is among the mountains. Within a few steps, you can see a Qingquan River winding out of the mountains and rushing forward.It is indeed a beautiful place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, worthy of the name of Lingshui.Old man Lin said that he had to take a minibus to go to his hometown. He wanted to check the departure time of the minibus today, and then left.

In front of the beautiful scenery, Xiao Ling kept busy with her mobile phone, either taking pictures of the scenery or taking selfies.He didn't pay attention to his feet, staggered, and instinctively let go of the phone to stabilize his body balance.As a result, the mobile phone fell into the water as a matter of course. Although I hurriedly picked it up, it turned off with a black screen.

Seeing that Xiao Ling's expression had changed, Li Quan hurriedly comforted him: "It's all right, I picked it up in time, and I'll see if I can find a hair dryer to blow it on later. Or see if there is a small shop in the county that can repair it. "

Old man Lin came back, looked at Xiao Ling frowning, turned around and asked, "Li Quan, did you bully her?"

Li Quan shook his head and pointed to the phone that was still dripping: "Her phone fell into the water."

Old man Lin said "Oh": "Well, there seems to be a small shop in front that can be repaired, let's go and have a look."

The three of them walked along the widest road in Lingshui County, and they saw a "specialized in all kinds of mobile phones, with ancestral craftsmanship." Li Quan said to himself: "This also has ancestral craftsmanship." The owner is one of them. Young people, seeing that Xiao Ling put the phone on the counter, and there was a puddle of water on the counter, so he understood.

After taking it to the back, I fiddled with it for a while, and said, "Okay. It's 100 yuan." Xiao Ling picked it up, and it turned on as expected, so he paid the money without hesitation.The minibus that happened to be bound for the village also just came out of the station slowly, and old man Lin greeted the two of them to get on the bus.

There was no one in the car, only the three of them. Li Quan joked, "Mr. Lin, this mobile phone fell into the water and caught wind evil, why can't it be cured?"

Unexpectedly, old man Lin said very seriously: "How to treat things without souls?"

After the mobile phone was turned on, Xiao Ling swept away the slump just now, and said with a smile: "The Night Walk of Hundred Ghosts in Japan's Heian Dynasty is just like pots and pans walking on the main road. Even jade and lutes can become fine, why do you say that mobile phones have no souls?" Woolen cloth?"

"Those are all made-up stories. They're not true. Don't believe them." Old man Lin knew that the two juniors didn't believe him from the bottom of their hearts, so he didn't bother to discuss anything with them, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.Xiao Ling suddenly exclaimed: "Ah, why is the screen blank again?" In her hand, the mobile phone she had just rescued with 100 yuan had a blank screen on it, and Li Quan stretched out her hand: "Bring me to see."

Shut down and restart, and the normal startup interface appears.Xiao Ling was not happy for 5 minutes when the screen went blank again.Xiao Ling was furious: "Liar, you haven't repaired it at all!"

Li Quan was in the same place: "Forget it, such a beautiful scenery, just put down your phone and enjoy it."

"That's the only way to go." Xiao Ling restarted again without giving up, and after 5 minutes, the screen went blank again, and finally put the phone back into the backpack resignedly.

More and more dense green appeared outside the window, and the minibus had already driven deep into the mountains.Not long after, it stopped and the driver called all the passengers to get off.Old man Lin opened his eyes: "Oh, it's here."

This is a typical rural area in southern China. Not far from the small road are stretches of rice fields, where farmers and buffaloes are busy.The three of them walked forward, and a little yellow dog came in front of them. When they saw old man Lin, they wagged their tails. Old man Lin knelt down and stroked the dog's head: "Xiao Huang, do you still remember me?" After licking his hand, he turned and walked forward. Li Quan asked: "How did it go?" Old man Lin pointed to the front: "It came out to lead the way. The village in front is my home."

At this moment, all the strong laborers in the village are working outside, and there is no one in the village, it is empty, Xiao Ling almost thinks that no one lives in this village.In front of a small courtyard, old man Lin stopped and said, "This is my house." He pushed open the firewood door and unlocked the small padlock on the wooden door.There are a few simple pieces of furniture in the room, all covered with a thick layer of dust.Xiao Ling covered his nose: "It smells so bad."

"Just tidy up in a while."

Li Quan walked around and found a well behind the courtyard. He wanted to pump some water for cleaning, but accidentally, the well rope and the bucket fell into it, making a loud noise.Old man Lin heard the sound, and seeing this scene, he couldn't help shaking his head: "Young people in the city..." After tossing for a while, he finally fetched two buckets of water. Ling reached out and took it away.Li Quan turned to look at her: "I thought you were too dirty."

Xiao Ling walked into the bedroom with a rag and said, "I'm not sure about the quality of your work." The two of them had a tacit understanding of the work, Li Quan was in charge of the heights and changing the water, and Xiao Ling was in charge of wiping the things in the house.

Unlike the two people who were relaxed and at ease, Old Lin opened the drawer in his room with a solemn expression, carefully took out a black object, and said to himself: "I didn't expect you to be used this time."
