Volume 2 Flowers follow the willows, the clouds are light and the wind is light! Chapter 20: The Former Residence
Why did Wang Zhongxian come to Runzhou? The main reason is that he is looking for a good friend who resigned four years ago and returned to his hometown to live in seclusion.
Runzhou was just a place he was passing by, and he didn't really know where his friend was from.
After arriving in Runzhou, Wang Zhongxian fell in love with it. likes this place with beautiful mountains and rivers, and what makes him even more pleased is that there is not even a decent private school in Runzhou City.
Wong Chung-hsien's greatest wish in life was to open a college. It is best to be famous in the world, and it is also a pleasure to teach and educate people honestly.
After Wang Jue's death, several children in the family divided the family property, which is not only money, but also about the division of connections and official positions.
No matter how Wang Jue is 'three decrees', he is still a veteran figure who has gone through three dynasties, and it is not difficult to protect his son-in-law from advancing by leaps and bounds in the official rank.
Wang Zhongxian didn't want an official and didn't want a person, so as soon as the brothers discussed, they gave him a large sum of money.
After he came to Runzhou, he first used the money to buy a house, and he took out part of the rest of the money and prepared to build a academy.
However, with the Nanshan thieves still there, the academy could not be built. There are a lot of materials needed for construction, and if you go to Nanshan to collect good quality and low price, and if you go to other places, not only will the price double, but the quality may not be so good.
Now that the Nanshan is gone, the academy has been established as a matter of course, and Wang Zhongxian has to take time to visit the construction site every day, which is located in the north of the city, on a hillside near the Yangtze River.
Standing at the highest place of the academy, you can see the hibiscus in the heart of the Yangtze River, that is, the golden mountain.
The boats coming and going, the refreshing wind, and the rows of weeping willows fluttering in the wind by the river, all these scenes made Wang Zhongxian want to cry out with joy.
However, when he saw the figures of two sneaky teenagers, his face suddenly darkened.
"Shi'er, what are you doing?"
The two figures stood still, as if they had been immobilized. A few workers carrying wood passed by, all smiling.
They have seen this scene a lot recently. The handsome young man who is so handsome that he doesn't talk seems to be the little man of the rich man's family. Everyone likes him very much, because he never puts on a show, and he is very kind-hearted.
Wang Zhongxian hurriedly walked down, so the two teenagers suddenly pulled out their legs and ran away. Wang Zhongxian is slightly fat, he doesn't like sports very much, so after chasing a few steps, he is already out of breath. Sweating profusely, he shouted at the two teenagers, "You wait! The old man went back and told your mother! Look at how your mother cleans you up! ”
………………
Tang Ning was in a very bad mood, sitting in the carriage yawning, wanting to sleep, but he couldn't fall asleep. Sitting next to him was Zhou Huai with a smile on his face.
Early in the morning, he was disturbed by Zhou Huai's dream, and he dreamed that he was crying and eating food in a five-star hotel, when he was called up by Zhou Huai, saying that today is a good day, and it is time to go and meet his brother Xu.
There is no way, this second master's request cannot be refused. Tang Ning had no choice but to rub his sleepy eyes and get up, and after hurriedly washing up, he found that it was still very early, and even Liu Yier didn't get up.
Because Tang Ning had warned Zhou Huai a long time ago that there were fierce beasts like tigers and bears blind in this area. So Zhou Huai brought all the people around him who could fight this time, all of them were strong men with long hands and long feet, there were three of them, two of whom were holding a hand about the same length as a sword. crossbow, the other has nothing in his hand, and has a quiver on his back.
This thing should be a divine arm crossbow, the bow body is three feet three, the string length is two feet five, and the iron armor can be pierced three hundred steps away, but it is very difficult to load, and you have to pedal with your feet.
The Divine Arm Crossbow is mainly used in the army, and when the fight starts, some troops will send two people to exercise. Get a god arm crossbow, one for reloading, the other for shooting......
If you retire, you can still let the guards at home take this kind of thing, which is worthy of being the secretary of the military department, and worthy of being your own master, but it is not ordinary.
Standing at the entrance of Rooster Ridge once again reminded everyone not to be careless, until the three big men and Zhou Huai were nervous, Tang Ning was satisfied, and led the way in front with his hands behind his back.
There might have been other shortcuts to the hut, but Downing didn't know, he only knew that he had started from the village, followed the creek, and then went straight near a large impressive rock.
As a result, the dilapidated runaway village became a place that could not be bypassed.
Standing in front of the fourteen earthen bags in silence for a long time, Tang Ning looked at the half-gnawed and rotten apples in front of Niu San's tombstone, and was very sad.
He wished it was for people, not for the stinky monkeys who threw things away after taking a bite that didn't suit their taste.
Zhou Huai looked at the fourteen dirt bags, and then looked at the silent Tang Ning, without speaking, with a thoughtful expression.
A few men crossed the creek, and Downing walked cautiously along the path behind the big rock. The sight is still fresh in my memory, but the trees seem to be a little thicker.
After a while, he found the hut, and was about to step forward, when suddenly there was a roar of a wild beast.
In an instant, there were countless birds flying in the forest, and the three strong men reacted quickly, and suddenly formed a triangle to surround Tang Ning's master and apprentice in the middle, without hands. The crossbow man took out the long knife at his waist, and several people stared around vigilantly.
Lao Wu, who is blind in one eye, has always been Zhou Huai's coachman, so Tang Ning is also the most familiar with him. Tang Ning was a little scared, after all, the scene of the tiger and the blind bear fighting at the beginning still remains in his heart.
The shock brought to him by that scene was far more real and terrifying than the special effects synthesized in the computer.
"Don't panic, young master, it's the cry of a blind bear, and it's far away from us." Old Wu said with a grin, but his expression was not as relaxed as what he said.
Tang Ning tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "What am I afraid of?" I was chased by a tiger, so I wasn't afraid. ”
"Awesome!" Zhou Huai patted Tang Ning's head and laughed, then walked towards a place in the forest with his hands behind his back, and he had already seen a corner of the thatched hut.
The rest of the people hurriedly followed, and when Tang Ning saw the familiar but more dilapidated hut, he sighed lightly: "This is it." ”
Then he pointed to a slightly raised ground and said, "Be careful, don't step on my master." ”
"Brother Xu is on top, and the younger brother has given you a salute." Zhou Huai respectfully bowed his hand, and then carefully put the pile of tributes he was carrying in his hand in front of the simple wooden card, stepped over, and stood in front of the hut with Tang Ning, looked up and down, nodded and said, "It turns out that you used to live here." ”
Then, Zhou Huai craned his neck and glanced at the back of the house, and said to Tang Ning with disdain: "There is still a piece of farmland, and I don't know how you are hungry." ”
Tang Ning scratched his head and said embarrassedly: "I don't work hard and don't distinguish between grains and grains, so don't squeeze me, old man." ”
Zhou Huai was even more annoyed when he heard this, pointed to his brother Xu's grave and said angrily: "You are embarrassed to say, could it be that my brother Xu taught you like this?" ”
Tang Ning thought to himself that his second master was really familiar enough, so when they met, Brother Xu's voice was quite enthusiastic, and he didn't know if people would recognize you as a younger brother.
I touched my nose and said helplessly: "I can't help it, the master has beaten me more than once because of this." But this problem just hasn't changed......"
Zhou Huai snorted coldly and said, "You will change it." Sang Nong is the foundation of my dynasty, if you don't even know these things, don't tell me and Brother Xu's names in the future. ”
Downing shrugged, then stepped forward and pushed the door open. The last time he visited, there wasn't much in the door, he just found paper covered in scribbles.
He didn't recognize the words at the time, but he thought he should be able to do it now. It's not in vain to read so many books, although I didn't understand it, but I recognized a lot of words.
Of course, this is also thanks to Liu Yier who does not dislike herself and patiently teaches herself some rare words.
As soon as the door opened, Tang Ning remembered that the piece of paper had been buried in the ground by him along with the remains of 'Xu Xiaoyao', shook his head, and forgot about it, and then wanted to close the door.
It's just a few words, whether you know it or not, it's more important not to disturb your master's sleep.
It's just that the scene in the thatched hut made Tang Ning gasp.
