Chapter 32: Step aside
Looking at it, everyone had just arrived, and they hadn't sat down yet.
There were not many people at the scene, only twenty or thirty.
When everyone saw two strangers, they all looked at them. Hearing Lao Tzu say that he would "punish the station", everyone looked at the two and smiled happily.
The pulpit was on a high platform in front, two or three feet higher than the positions of the people below.
In the middle of the front of the high platform, there is a desk table, just like the ancient table in movies and TV series, about two feet high.
Lao Tzu stood in the back, looking condescending.
Until now, it is not certain that it is Lao Tzu. But Peng Zhou was sure that this person was Lao Tzu. Because! He looks like the portrait of Lao Tzu in the textbook.
Under the podium, there are also neatly placed desks, and behind them are seats on the back. The twenty or thirty people, none of whom had yet sat down in the seats at the back of the desk, were all standing in the open space of the hall talking. Judging according to the situation on the spot: it should be everyone.
"Daiko?"
"Peng Zhou?"
Just when everyone was laughing happily, there were two exclamations from the crowd.
"Zhuangzi! Are you there too? Hearing someone call him, Dai Zi looked over there and exclaimed in surprise.
He heard that the one who called him Daizi was Zhuangzi who had not seen him for a few years.
Hearing someone call his name, Peng Zhou also looked over there. Outcome! He saw Song Rongzi.
"Song Rongzi!" Peng Zhou waved over there and shouted.
Although Song Rongzi was mixed in with the crowd, he was a white-haired old man, and he was very recognizable.
But! In the crowd, there are really a lot of white-haired old men.
Zhuangzi was not very tall, and he was a gray-haired man, so it was difficult for him to be noticed standing in the crowd. But! His image is very recognizable. Usually, he dresses up as a poor man, and looks like a spokesperson for the image of a poor man.
"Alas!" When Song Rongzi heard Peng Zhou calling him, he hurriedly squeezed out of the crowd and walked over there.
To know! The name Peng Zhou was given by him Song Rongzi. So! After seeing Peng Zhou, he had a sense of intimacy.
"Why did you guys get here? You? Zhuangzi also squeezed out of the crowd and walked to Daizi's side, asking as he went.
"I'm here for you!" Dai Zi said to Zhuangzi as if he had seen a savior.
"You're coming to me? How do you know where I am? Zhuangzi asked suspiciously.
"Am I not? Found you? Dai Zi smiled bitterly.
"You?"
"I'm here to beg you! I want to hand over Peng Zhou to you! I can't read and I can't teach him! I don't want him to be like me in the future, just a warrior and nothing else! In this troubled world, if you don't have a few skills, it's hard to mix! Alas! ”
Speaking of these, Dai Zi reminded him of what Song Rongzi said to him.
Oh, yes! If you don't have the skills, you have to go to military service, or! Secluded in the mountains. And Song Rongzi and Zhuangzi are different, they can not only be officials, but also live a civilian life, and they can be like you: live in seclusion in the mountains and forests.
If you don't have a culture or a specialty, you only have one option. And people have culture, expertise, and versatility, and their life choice is multiple choices, and they choose that item if it is more suitable for them to survive.
When everyone saw that they were acquaintances of Zhuangzi and Song Rongzi, they stopped laughing and looked this way.
Lao Tzu saw two strangers, one big and one young, disturbing his class, and his face was not very good-looking. But! For the sake of Zhuangzi and Song Rongzi's face, they still waited patiently. His eyes were looking that way, too.
Song Rongzi came to Dai Zi and stretched out his hand to hug Peng Zhou.
When Peng Zhou saw Song Rongzi hugging him, he smiled and stretched out his hands to pounce on him.
Dai Zi was talking to Zhuangzi about serious things, and he didn't have time to talk to Song Rongzi. Seeing that Peng Zhou wanted Song Rongzi to hug him, he let go of his embrace.
"This baby! Do you know me? Have you grown so big? Growing so tall? Song Rongzi took Peng Zhou over and hugged him, and put it on the ground.
It's true! He couldn't believe that in less than a year or two years, Peng Zhou had grown so big? Where does it look like a two-year-old baby? This is clearly a four-year-old baby.
"Thank you Song Rongzi for naming your name! Thank you for saving your life. Peng Zhou saw that Song Rongzi had put him down, so he hurriedly took a step back, knelt down for Song Rongzi, and kowtowed earnestly to thank him.
"This, this, this? This baby! Why is this baby so sensible? This, this, this? Song Rongzi naturally couldn't believe it, and quickly helped Peng Zhou up.
Peng Zhou turned around again and kowtowed to Zhuangzi, who was talking to Dai Zi.
"Thank Zhuangzi for saving his life."
"This, this, this? Zhuangzi! Hurry up, hurry up! The baby kowtows to you! Song Rongzi saw that Zhuangzi didn't notice the situation here, so he hurriedly greeted.
"Huh? What the? Only then did Zhuangzi notice: Peng Zhou was kowtowing to him. Get up! Get up! The baby is so sensible! I'll take this baby! Accepted! ”
Zhuangzi hurriedly helped Peng Zhou up, then pressed Peng Zhou's shoulders and looked at it seriously.
Dai Zi couldn't help laughing when he saw that Zhuangzi had agreed and solved his thoughts.
The crowd watched for a while, and saw that the gentleman was still standing on the podium waiting for them to take their seats, and then they returned to their seats one by one and sat down.
Lao Tzu stood on the podium and kept looking down condescendingly, looking towards Dai Zi. Seeing that everyone was seated, Song Rongzi and Zhuangzi did not come, and they were still talking, and they suddenly became unhappy again.
"Hmmm! Well! Lao Tzu snorted twice, which was a reminder. And then! He also sat down and looked towards Dai Zi.
After waiting for a while, seeing that the four people over there were still endless, Lao Tzu was a little unacceptable, and shouted: "Song Rongzi!" Zhuangzi! ”
"Song Rongzi has arrived!" Song Rongzi heard the teacher calling him, and hurriedly agreed.
"Zhuangzi has arrived!" When Zhuangzi heard the teacher calling him, he instinctively agreed.
And then! The two looked at Dai Zi apologetically and said, "I'm sorry! It's class! It's class! Let's talk after class! Let's talk after class! ”
Finished! The two of them fled back to their seats.
"You two! Since you have come to my school, then! The same is my student. But you're late, and you're disrupting the normal order of class! All right! I can only follow the rules and punish you! Step aside! Stand tall! Be in the right posture! To stand and sit! ”
Under Lao Tzu's words, the twenty or thirty people straightened their bodies one by one and maintained a "sitting appearance".
"Giggles!" Seeing the appearance of Song Rongzi and Zhuangzi who were afraid of the teacher, and the appearance of the others sitting upright, Peng Zhou couldn't help but snicker.
"Stand still! He's Lao Tzu! Step aside! Dai Zi saw that he annoyed Lao Tzu, and hurriedly reminded in a whisper.
And then! pulled Peng Zhou aside, stood aside, and accepted Lao Tzu's "punishment station".
Joke! Everyone finally invited Lao Tzu out to give a lecture, but you were disturbed, can you not punish the station?
"Lao Tzu? Is he really Lao Tzu? Peng Zhou asked in a low voice.
Dai Zi didn't answer him, his eyes looked at the podium, and he listened carefully.
