In the same boat with the son

Lin Xiu and Young Master Zhu followed Mao Rong to his home, only to see the house was completely bare, and there was an old mother in the house.The rainy day got dark earlier, and the shower did not dissipate early, until it turned into a continuous drizzle.Lin Xiu and Young Master Zhu got their clothes wet, and went to bed early after changing their clothes, since there are female relatives at home, it is inconvenient for them to wander around.

Young master Zhu was very puzzled, and asked, "Ah Xiu, that person is sitting a little more respectfully than others, what's so special about it? Even if it's a little special, it's fine to chat, why bother to follow someone else's house?" ?”

Lin Xiu smiled when he heard it, and seemed a little inexplicably mysterious, "It's easy for you to sit in front of your father, but it's impossible for you to sit in front of your mother alone." Under the tree, everyone is sheltering from the rain, and Mr. Du Mao is sitting in danger, which is already unusual; but Mr. Mao is like a land without people, and there are no people, and there are still people walking, which is even more rare."

"Thousands of things in the world, positive and negative, ulterior motives are hard to guard against; and human beings are lazy, looking for comfort and tired of hard work, which is also normal; what's more, wearing too many masks, you can't even know your own heart, and take what you like Disgusted, disliked for liking, turning around in vain."

"Therefore, like Mr. Mao, he is not a person with a sanctimonious appearance, he is not a lazy person, and he is not a person who does not know his own mind. It is rare to think, think and act, and think and act in harmony with the inside and outside."

Young master Zhu heard this, and he understood and was a little puzzled, "What's wrong with An Yi, it's human nature to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, it's normal to act according to one's whim!"

Lin Xiu shook his head lightly with a smile, "Ah Ran is naturally cute like this."

Young master Zhu was satisfied at this point, he turned around and went to sleep, Lin Xiu blew out the candles and rested by himself.

On the next day, the sky will be bright, with a little bit of night, very light and quiet.Lin Xiu and Young Master Zhu were still asleep when they heard the shrill cries of a chicken being killed.The sound made people panic, so they also woke up. When they finished cleaning up, they saw a lot of chicken feathers floating in a big wooden basin in the yard, and there was still a little bit of heat.The two of them thought in their hearts, this person is also hospitable, and the family is in such a state that he still kills chickens to entertain guests.

When it was time for breakfast, the two of them saw that there were only ordinary vegetables on the table, and there was no chicken or anything, which was very strange.Only an old woman's voice could be heard in the room, "Ah Rong, isn't it a waste for you to give this old woman me this chicken soup? Isn't there a visitor at home, take it out and serve it to the guests."

Mao Rong's voice came from inside, very careful, "Mother, you are not in good health, don't worry so much, I have already arranged everything."

"Well, well, go and entertain the guests, and leave me alone."

Mao Rong came out from the inner room and greeted the two of them to eat together. The dishes were very light.Lin Xiu was touched and couldn't help saying, "Sir, you are so virtuous! I wonder if you are willing to study?"

Mao Rong was very surprised when he heard this, "I'm just a farmer in the countryside, I'm already old, and I have a sick and weak mother who needs to be taken care of by myself, how dare I think about it!"

"Mr. has a tenacious character. If you have the heart to learn, you will definitely gain something."

Although Mao Rong was quite moved when he heard it, it still felt quite unrealistic, and Lin Xiu no longer tried to persuade him.After eating, the two said goodbye to Young Master Zhu and thanked Mao Rong.

After staying far away, Young Master Zhu finally couldn't hold back and asked, "Ah Xiu, although I don't have any thoughts about that chicken, but this man killed the chicken, and we only saw a few chicken feathers, why do you still praise him?" That person?"

"This man sees that we are extraordinary, and he doesn't feel flattering, it's for conduct; serving chicken soup to his mother is a filial piety; eating grass and vegetables with guests is a courtesy; what you do is what you see, it's even more rare Trust me. Although this person looks mediocre at first glance, it is actually not easy for anyone to do it." Smiling, he nodded Young Master Zhu's forehead, "You were born in a wealthy town and were pampered and raised , It’s precious to be persistent even when you don’t know adversity! The same thing has very different meanings to people in different situations!”

Young master Zhu held his forehead, very puzzled, but he didn't seem to be mocking Lin Xiu, so he didn't take it to heart.Just thinking about what Lin Xiu said yesterday, I still couldn't help asking, "Axiu, you said that some people can't even understand their own hearts. Are there really such people? Eat when you're hungry, and sleep when you're sleepy. How simple is that?" If you like something, you like it, if you don’t like it, you don’t like it, why don’t you know what you like, you don’t like it?”

Lin Xiu heard it, turned his face, and said with a protracted ending, "Oh, are you thinking of someone before you ask this?"

A suspicious blush appeared on Young Master Zhu's face, and he wiped his own face with his hands, "I just thought of the witch doctor. I feel that the witch doctor is a good person. He saved you, and he usually does good deeds. It's just that he always wants to Make yourself look like a bad guy, talk to us like you want to sell us. You call him weird, but I think he is actually a very gentle person, although I have disturbed him for a long time , he has been quietly letting me stay there. It's just him, why did he say those hurtful things?"

Lin Xiu had no choice but to persuade, "Everyone is delusional, can't see clearly, can't understand, witch doctor is like this, so are you!"

Young master Zhu was even more confused when he heard that, "What am I lost in? What can't I see clearly? Is it because I can't see clearly the witch doctor?"

"It's not easy for me to say anything, I have to see it through myself, or it will be in vain."

The two found the way, Qiu Zhu led them all the way to the west, and when they returned to Jiexiu, they received a letter from Zhao Jin saying that in March, the Baima Qiang invaded Guanghan County and the Shu Kingdoms, and the governor of Yizhou led the Southwest Banman to destroy them; In autumn and July, the capital flooded; in winter and October, Chen Jingtu in Changping raised his troops to ambush him;

In the first snowfall, the door door slammed softly, and street candles attracted people in. Lin Xiuxiu was reading a book with a small charcoal fire in his arms.A burst of cold air made him shiver, but he looked up and saw that it was a witch doctor, very surprised.The witch doctor was wearing a light gray cloak and a cloudy white gown, with some wind and snow on his body, his face looked like frozen cinnabar in the air-conditioning, very bright and beautiful.

Lin Xiu hurriedly greeted him, "I don't know why Shudu has nothing to do to see me, an idler?"

The witch doctor took off his cloak, sat in front of the quilt with Lin Xiu, took the tea handed over by Lu Zhu, warmed his hands, "You idler is too idle to meddle in your own business, so you can't contact Li Wei. Recommend someone to go over."

Lin Xiu heard it and asked, "Could it be that Mr. Fu has already found Mingxuan?"

"In addition to him, there are two small soy sauce bottles." The witch doctor seemed to be a little accusing, but also seemed to be amused.

Lin Xiu thought that Mr. Fu would definitely be able to help Mingxuan, so he was relieved a little, and then smiled a little, "I haven't contacted Mingxuan personally, and I haven't gone to find him. This little thing is still useful. Do you want to trouble the witch doctor?"

Hearing this, the witch doctor became a little annoyed, "There is one more thing, Mr. Li should take up the position of Minister in the coming year, so I will tell you."

Lin Xiu was overjoyed to hear the news about Li Wei, but he thought about what he wrote about the news, or he would hear it when he joined the job, and his heart became more joking, "Oh, just pass the news to me in the letter of the witch doctor. It’s a bit of a pity to make another trip.”

Glancing at the witch doctor, he was even more depressed, but he pretended to be disdainful and said, "I just want to remind you not to lose too much because of small things, and I don't want the effort I expended to be wasted."

Lin Xiu accepted it when he saw it, and said seriously, "I will follow the witch doctor's orders, I wonder if Uncle Du has other things to do here?"

The witch doctor seemed awkward, "I also want to come and see you and that little idiot this time, anyway, I'm just nestling at home this winter." He seemed a little puzzled, "Isn't the little idiot usually with you?" in one place?"

Seeing his appearance, Lin Xiu was clearly thinking about Young Master Zhu, and he would not admit it, but he was so annoyed, so he didn't point it out, "Aran's house is in Jiexiu City, so naturally he can't come to my house every day. ", I secretly laughed in my heart, and said with a sense of humor, "But since you are here, I will call him to accompany you."

The witch doctor wanted to say it was a matter of course, but felt that it was a waste of value, and wanted to say that he didn't care about that little idiot, but he couldn't say it, so he just snorted.Lin Xiu asked Lu Qiu to invite Young Master Zhu to come over, and he couldn't help thinking in his heart, wondering if Young Master Zhu would be like a witch doctor. Come here, it's so awkward, and it doesn't look like it will show up. It won't be nothing in the end.

But he said that after hearing that Lin Xiu was looking for him, Young Master Zhu asked Lu Qiu what was going on. Lu Qiu probably knew something about Young Master Zhu secretly thinking about the witch doctor, but he didn't think much about it, so he told the truth.If Young Master Zhu had any ideas, although he was a bit unwilling, but the urgency to see him couldn't be restrained, so he had no choice but to follow Lu Qiu over.

When he pushed open the door of Lin Xiu's study room, he felt his hands tremble a little, and Young Master Zhu just thought he was frozen on the road.People with fanatical beliefs, when they feel the inexplicable joy of being blessed by God, are probably similar.In Young Master Zhu's heart, the witch doctor is like the best white moonlight, and he is just the most vulgar person among all living beings, as long as he holds a wisp of it.

When the door was finally pushed open, there was a creaking sound, as if startled, Young Master Zhu seemed to have become a little timid again, but walked over very quietly, sat next to Lin Xiu, lowered his head, repeatedly Not even looking around.Seeing what Young Master Zhu was about to say, the witch doctor paused a bit when he saw his appearance.

The emotions in his heart were still very complicated, he naturally knew that Young Master Zhu was pure-hearted and simple-minded, and he didn't want to hurt him like this, but those words just came out like that.When he saw him say those words without thinking about anything, the witch doctor felt that he should have done it, and his heart began to feel guilty, sour, and distressed. These originally faint emotions fermented after they left. more and more intense.After being exposed to so many twists and turns, the skin is dim, that kind of simple, direct, very kind and frank, is just like holding on to the Achilles heel of my own facial makeup transformation, although it is a bit silly and an idiot.

Lin Xiu saw that the atmosphere was so stagnant, so he told them to go outside and bring some food and wine, so that they could speak clearly.When Lin Xiu got up, he saw that his clothes were being pulled. Young Master Zhu looked at him with apprehensive eyes, as if asking for help, but Lin Xiu had no choice but to whisper something in Young Master Zhu's ear to make him feel at ease Come.After hearing those words, Young Master Zhu became less constrained and had more of his usual spirit.
