With Yan Shigu's instructions, Xia Hongsheng didn't have to listen to the gentlemen's lectures, although he was named a student of the academy, but he was actually a free person in the academy, and he went to the fang market with Lin Ergou in the morning, and saw that they had opened up all the things, so he went to the academy slowly, walked to the door of the academy, inadvertently itched his nose, and sneezed, only then did he notice that the air had begun to flutter sporadically. The warm and smoky breeze with the breath of early summer was blowing in his face, and the air was full of a kind of germinating smell of plants and trees, which made Xia Hongsheng suddenly realize that summer was coming! Xia Hongsheng likes summer the most, but who would have thought that fate is so peculiar, the last summer was still bragging with school colleagues and students in the village, but this summer, but it was the early Tang Dynasty Zhenguan more than 1,300 years ago. This made Xia Hongsheng suddenly have a sense of vicissitudes and an indescribable loneliness in the depths of his heart.

"Huh? Isn't that the brother of the Xia family? Why don't you go to school, what do you do outside alone? At this moment, a voice suddenly came from behind: "Oh...... I see, you must have been punished by the gentleman, right? ”

Xia Hongsheng looked back, but saw that it was Xu Hui leading two teenagers who looked younger than her to stand there, followed by the little girl in Xu's house, and Xia Hongsheng, who was turning his head, accompanied by a smiling face.

"Little girl, what are you doing here?" Xia Hongsheng asked, "What's the matter, did you take out the bowl this morning?" You are willing to gamble and lose, come and be my maid! ”

"My name is Xu Hui, not a little girl!" The little girl was dissatisfied with the title in Xia Hongsheng's mouth, rolled her eyes and retorted, and then said: "Hmph, I want to take it out in front of you, save you from paying the bill afterwards, and slander me for pouring out the water!" ”

"People are small and big, and they have a lot of thoughts!" Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes at her: "Your brother is listening to a lecture in the school, I'm afraid you will have to wait for a while." ”

"I didn't come to him, the two younger brothers made a lot of noise at home, my mother ordered me to take them out to play, and I didn't have a place to go, so I remembered that I had never been to Luanzhou Academy, so I led them over." Xu Hui looked around curiously: "I didn't expect this Luanzhou Academy to be so big, much bigger than Yique's official school." ”

The Tang Dynasty was civilized, and it can be called the most open one of the folk customs in the ancient dynasties.

Xia Hongsheng had nothing to do, so he led Xu Hui and her two younger brothers around Luanzhou Academy, and then went up the back mountain. The scenery on the back mountain is beautiful, you can overlook Luanzhou City, overlook Laojun Mountain in the distance, the winding path is secluded, the mountain stream is flowing, it is a good place to play. In addition, Xia Hongsheng can talk and be funny, while walking on the back mountain, he told the three of them all kinds of anecdotes heard in Luanzhou City, and he was able to find wild fruits from the mountain that the three of them hadn't even seen much, which made the three of them very interesting. Xia Hongsheng taught village elementary schools in his later life, and he has rich experience in dealing with these young teenagers.

“…… I have heard a rumor that it is said that when it was very early, it took about ten years, and there was still a mass grave on the back mountain, which is our current foot. At that time, there was a dilapidated settlement that had no place to live, so he found a cave to live in the back mountain. During the day, he went out to do hard labor, and at night he went back to sleep in the cave. That night, the ruined house came back again, and after a day of hard labor, I passed by the mass grave at our feet, and saw a man sitting alone under the moonlight drinking. The broken household was startled and was about to run away, but he heard that person say, brother, what is it to run away as soon as you see a certain family? A certain family is depressed, come, and accompany a certain family to drink? When the broken settlement heard this, he was relieved, turned around and turned back, and the two kept drinking until the middle of the night, and the man didn't say a word, but drank the broken settlement down. When I woke up the next day, I found myself in the cave, and I didn't know how I got back, and when I thought about it, I couldn't remember the face of the man last night. The next day, I went back to look at it, but there was no trace of it. Xia Hongsheng lowered his voice and spoke in a mysterious tone. Xu Hui and her two younger brothers blinked, looked around a little nervously, and then swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

Later, for several nights, every night to this point, there was a person on the side who pulled the broken settlement to drink, and the broken settlement began to be afraid in his heart, I don't know if it was a person or a ghost who was drinking, and he didn't dare to ask, for fear that if it was really a ghost, he would break his identity and make it difficult for him again, so he had to accompany him every night. A few days passed, the broken settlement was really unbearable, it happened that Luanzhou City passed by a Taoist priest from the traveling side, the Taoist monk went to ask, the Taoist priest told him not to worry, first determined that the person is a person or a ghost, and then taught him the Tao, if he appears again, you look at his hands, see if there are palm prints on the hands, if there is, it is a person, if not, it is a ghost! When he wrote it down, he went back to the cave at night, and sure enough, he saw the man waiting for him there, and when he saw him going, he wanted to pull him to drink. Po settled down remembered the words of the Taoist priest, so he paid attention to it, pretending to be happy to sit down, the man poured a full cup, handed it forward, Po settled took the opportunity to look over...... "Xu Hui and her two younger brothers were listening attentively at this time, their eyes didn't blink, staring at Xia Hongsheng tightly, Xia Hongsheng had no warning, suddenly grabbed Xu Hui's hand, and at the same time suddenly shouted in his mouth: "Let me see your hands!" ”

"Ahh Xu Hui screamed and jumped up suddenly, and her two younger brothers were also frightened by Xia Hongsheng's sudden loud shout, and sat on the ground.

"Hahahaha......" Xia Hongsheng held his stomach and pointed at the three of them and laughed.

Xu Hui's frightened face turned pale, her heart palpitated, and she was pounding, and when she saw Xia Hongsheng pointing at herself and laughing, she knew that she was being teased by him, and she was immediately angry and annoyed, and she raised her foot and stomped on Xia Hongsheng's foot with a gritted tooth: "Xia Hongsheng!" You do it on purpose, you are so hateful! ”

"Haha, don't be annoyed, just kidding, well, you can scare your brother like this, hahaha...... Do I have other stories, do you want to hear them? Xia Hongsheng didn't feel pain when she stepped on it, he couldn't breathe when he laughed, and pulled up the two little babies who were scared by him to the ground, and said.

"Don't listen!" Xu Huiyu was still angry, glaring at Xia Hongsheng viciously, the sudden sound just now almost scared her soul away, how could she not be annoyed.

The little girl was furious, and as soon as she pulled up her two younger brothers, she turned to go down the mountain. Xia Hongsheng snickered and ran up, but the little girl was also angry and ignored him. Xia Hongsheng followed all the way, and he didn't see the little girl getting better, so he felt that he was a little too much, so he said again: "Hey, I said, are you really angry?" The heart is so small......"

"Hmph, I'm a little woman, and my heart is naturally small. Xia Gongzi has a big heart, but doesn't he also make up stories to tease me? Xu Hui glanced at Xia Hongsheng and sneered.

Xia Hongsheng touched his nose: "Okay, okay, I'll apologize to you, don't be angry." The little girl has a lot of temper. ”

"What Xia Gongzi said is light, I almost lost my soul just now, pity my two younger brothers, they were scared to the ground, and they haven't eased up yet...... Xu Hui's eyes rolled, and his face changed to a look of tears, squatting down and raising his hand to rub it on the heads of his two younger brothers.

Hey, climb up the pole! Xia Hongsheng was happy, this little girl is really a little ghost, so he laughed: "Cheng, in this way, the weather is also hot, I invite you to eat sorbet as an atonement, how about it?" ”

"Sorbet?" Xu Hui's eyes lit up, and she asked puzzledly, "What is that?" I have eaten jujube cake and osmanthus cake...... I just haven't heard of sorbet! But...... It's early summer, and there's no ice cellar, where do you get ice? ”

"Hey, Ben Gongzi can take water out of the soil and get some ice, it's not too simple." Xia Hongsheng pushed away the folding fan and swayed, not looking too sè.

"I don't believe you can bury a bowl in the soil and get water! Let's go back together at noon, and this girl will poke you to your face! Xu Hui's chin was raised very proudly, and the sun just shone on her cheeks, which made Xia Hongsheng, who had come over at a glance, suddenly in a trance.

Not to mention, this little girl is really good-looking! I feel that those goddesses and the like in the later life are too far behind her.

The two of them were talking for a while, and they had already arrived in the academy, and the students had already walked out of the school, and as they were talking, they saw a figure suddenly break in front of them, and said with a smile: "Haha, what's wrong with the two of you, a son and a girl?" ”

When I looked up, it was not someone else standing in front of me, it was Xu Qixian, and the little girl immediately deflated her mouth and ran up as if she was about to cry: "Brother! Xia Hongsheng, he bullied me! Deliberately telling stories to scare my brother and me! Teach him a lesson for me! ”

Xia Hongsheng almost fell down in one step, this little girl is a fox, this face has become too fast!

"Brother, Xia Hongsheng bragged again, saying that he can not only take water out of the soil, but also make ice from the soil on a hot day!" Xu Hui smiled slyly and shouted to Xu Qixian again.

It doesn't matter if she shouted, but it alarmed the students passing by, and now, where would they not know Xia Hongsheng, hearing Xu Hui shouting like this, and remembering what Xia Hongsheng was going to do that day, he began to tease: "Senior Brother Xia, the last time you wanted to do a trick, everyone didn't see it, what kind of trick are you going to do this time?" Didn't you hear me right, take water from the soil, and can you take ice from the soil on a hot day? ”

With this student's words, the students who passed by around suddenly burst into laughter.

"A bunch of people who don't know, hmph, I'm going to go to Senior Brother Xu's house at noon today to make ice, and the method of taking water from the soil is also there, I don't believe you can go and have a look!" Xia Hongsheng rolled his eyes angrily at the student who was speaking, and sneered.

"Oh?" The student's eyes lit up and he looked at Xu Qixian.

"Brother Fang, Senior Brother Xia did make a mechanism at home yesterday, saying that it could take back the water that was poured into the soil, but it hasn't been revealed yet, and I'm waiting to go home to see the results." Xu Qixian shook his head with a wry smile, and said helplessly to the student.

But seeing that the student's eyes rolled, he came up very curiously: "It is said that it is difficult to recover the water, how did Senior Brother Xia take back the water that was spilled?" You can still make ice out of the soil, let alone in such a hot weather...... Oops, I can't say, it's really novelty tight. Hehe, Brother Xu, can you allow your little brother to be abrupt and visit you at noon today? ”

Xu Qixian was about to speak, but when he saw Xia Hongsheng's eyes suddenly, he laughed and opened his mouth first: "Cheng!" If not, if there is any classmate who still wants to witness it, how about making a bet with the younger brother? One person has always made money, do you dare? ”

The students looked at each other, and the student surnamed Fang suddenly clapped his hands: "Such a novelty, why don't you dare, haha, bet for my brother!" ”
