Children's forgetfulness is fast, as soon as I go to school, I leave these things behind, but the thing that I dare not leave behind is the afternoon exercise, my school is 11:30 noon class, 2:30 p.m., because the children from home do not go home, there is a three-hour lunch break.

() Old man Jiang arranged for me like this, half an hour for eating, one and a half hours for a nap, and the remaining hour must play a set of five poultry plays, I can't do it if I don't do it, because he arranged a 'spy' Liu Chunyan by my side!

Liu Chunyan doesn't sleep at noon, people want to study, and it's just convenient to 'monitor' me, I think I can't control Liu Chunyan's mouth, where do I dare to be dishonest?

As a result, I became a 'celebrity' in the school, because there was always a group of students who watched me play five poultry plays, and there were more than a dozen people who watched me play at noon every day.

The school is not big, a small 2-story building, a bungalow, and a large yard with a row of trees planted as a playground, I can't hide, especially when it is close to class time, people who come to school come to school, and those who take a nap get up, causing more people to look around me than at noon.

"Look, it's like a monkey."

"Oops, that's a tiger"

"In Gakuno**?"

I have a mouthful of old blood in my throat, fart pheasant, bird shape, I am bird shape.

But fortunately, the people of that era were innocent, and in this era, I told others that I was a bird, and I guess I would have to laugh crazy.

Anyway, I became a 'celebrity' like this, and everyone in this rural elementary school knows that there is a 'fool' who doesn't sleep at noon and imitates all kinds of animals.

Fools are fools, old man Jiang doesn't allow me to explain anything anyway, "Everyone's thoughts are different, it's just that some people say it, some people don't say it, even if your baby is bigger than the sky, you can't care what others think, just do your own thing." ”

This is what Old Man Jiang said.

At noon on this day, I still went to be a 'celebrity', but I was in a good mood, I had a birthday today, and the old man Jiang said that he would let my whole family come to help me celebrate, and he also said that he could call crispy meat.

When I got to the mountain, I found that my parents had already stayed in the bamboo building, and they all looked at me with a smile, and I asked excitedly: "Mom, where is my sister?" ”

"Your master has gone down the mountain to pick them up, I'll come later, come over and take a look, my three babies are stronger again."

My mother was happy, and it's no wonder that when I was a child, I thought I couldn't support myself, but I didn't expect that I would grow up slowly, and I would grow tall and strong.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very warm, and my master, who had always been a child and was proud of laziness, actually took all the food with his own hands on this day, and there was nothing else in the mountains, but there was a lot of game, and it was really mouth-watering to see the dishes on the table.

The charcoal-grilled rabbit meat was torn into strips and mixed with chopped peppers, the silver carp caught in the fresh pool was slice into pieces, mixed with mushrooms, the pheasant stewed in a big pot of fresh soup, the snow-white winter bamboo shoots were fried tender, and the smoked sausages brought by my parents and some fresh vegetables, that table was the level of ordinary people for the New Year.

Old man Jiang also took out his treasured old wine, made an exception and poured a glass for the four children, the wine was thick and almost pulped, and the mouth was sweet, until the throat turned into a hot breath, and the whole stomach of the burning person was hot, and I only drank a small sip and my whole face turned red.

My dad, a perennial drinker, has to take a break after drinking a drink, but the old man Jiang is 'snorting' and 'swooping' and even drinking 2 glasses.

When I asked him what he was drinking, he just wouldn't say.

When the meal was almost finished, the old man Jiang said: "Sanwa'er, today the master has a surprise for you, I dragged the people from the town to the big city, and it took some effort, but children, sometimes you can't be wronged, I should show you a fresh." ”

Look at what the old man Jiang said is mysterious, I don't know what it is, he entered his room, and after a while he brought a cardboard box, as soon as he opened it, the crispy meat shouted in surprise: "What is this, I haven't seen it, can I eat it?" ”

Inside the box was a round thing, with a milky white base, and a few pink flowers on it, and a beautiful white edge, exuding a sweet smell that was fatal to children.

"Why can't you eat it? This is a cream cake, which only a few children in big cities can eat on their birthdays, come, I'll cut it for you. ”

Old man Jiang's expression was very ordinary.

After eating this cream cake, I completely opened my eyes, and I thought to myself, there is still such a delicious thing in this world?

It's fragrant and sweet with a milky flavor, soft in the mouth, and there is a layer of chicken cake inside.

I only knew about the yellow chicken cake, but I didn't expect there to be something like a cream cake that I had never seen before!

After eating the cake, even my parents were immersed in an inexplicable sense of happiness that was novel to the world, only the old man Jiang said calmly: "It's okay to have a cream cake, I still want to give the three babies a thing today." ”

After speaking, the old man Jiang took out a string of black beads and handed it to me, I took a look at it in my hand, this string of beads is not only black, but also has a bright oily color, it is very heavy to start, it smells a mysterious and strange fragrance, it feels like wood is not wood, in short, there is a sense of oiliness.

"Master, what is this?"

I asked, holding the beads.

"Agarwood, yes, Qi Nan Shen, it is said that it has the effect of driving away filth and avoiding evil, and regulating the liver, which is okay, because Taoism does not measure the value of things by money. This thing is precious in my master, that is, your ancestor handed down, he plays all the year round, has his mental power in it, now I pass it on to you, you have to cherish it, usually wear it and don't leave it, you can also play with it when you are free, when you are bored, but you can read the Tao Te Ching to it, you know? ”

Old man Jiang is rare, and said seriously.

"Master, like this one, can't you take it off?"

I don't know what agarwood is, and I don't understand the value of agarwood, but I'm a little confused that this bead is a little big, so I took out the tiger claw hanging around my neck and asked.

"Well, you can't take it off. You are the saddest nine, these years have given you two merits, so that the first nine years of your life to spend safely, but this kind of thing can not be done a lot, only let you raise some spiritual objects, to ensure that you pass the forty-nine smoothly. ”

Old man Jiang said.

My parents understood these words, their faces became a little ugly, and my two sisters also vaguely understood, only me and Crispy Meat didn't care, because I really didn't feel anything, and Crispy Meat didn't understand what Old Man Jiang was talking about at all.

The people present, except for Old Man Jiang, didn't know how precious this Qi Nan Shen was, I heard Old Man Jiang say this, so I simply tied the string of agarwood beads and tiger claws together, hung it around my neck, and when I got older, I would wear it when it was appropriate.

"It's a pity, my master searched the world, and he didn't find a few kinds of agarwood recorded in ancient times, he could only find this Qi Nan Shen, although the Taoist state of mind can not be addicted to things, demanding perfection and the best, but ah"

My master sighed and stopped talking.

And my dad suddenly became excited at this time, and suddenly stood up and said: "Master Jiang, you really didn't say anything to the three babies, I don't read much, I have no culture, and I don't know what this agarwood is, but I know that it is definitely more precious than the tiger claws, speaking of which you are the master of the three babies, but you are really more kind to him than your parents, if these three babies dare to be unfilial to you in the future, I will definitely kill him, or I will not recognize this son." ”

My mom also nodded her head in agreement.

But the old man Jiang only said one sentence: "He inherits my Taoism, and to me, he is a person who is more important than his son, you don't have to be like this." ”

Anyway, on this ninth birthday, I once again received something from Master for me, a string of agarwood beads.

And at the end of this birthday, Master told me again that when I turn ten, he will explain some things to me, and at that time he will also formally teach me some things.

I myself was very curious about such an explanation, and what would he say to me when I was ten years old?
