Chapter 3 A Boy with a Fortune in His Hands
I was fascinated by what I watched, completely forgetting the passage of time, my grandfather kept urging in my ears, and before I knew it, an hour had passed, and I was still intoxicated by the wonderful world of Zhou Yi, this book was really refreshing and pleasant, and I couldn't leave.
In the afternoon, when I came to school, the first thing I did was to introduce this strange book to Bai Jingwen, I especially like to share my happy things with others, I originally meant to feel the feeling of joy with her, but many times I will be poured cold water.
This is a typical example of self-inflicted hardship.
"Wenwen, do you remember the strange book mentioned in the Chinese exam yesterday?"
"Strange books? Language exams? Aren't you thinking nonsense again? There are 199 days left before the college entrance examination, do you still want to go to Tsinghua University? ”
"It's really a strange book, you can predict the future, the outline of the governance of the ancient emperors, it's okay"
Before I finished speaking, Bai Jingwen's hand was already on my arm.
"It's going to be the college entrance examination soon, can you not just be thinking about it every day, I'm really helpless to you, I brag with me every day to take the Tsinghua exam, what kind of strange book is there here, I think you're crazy, dare to say it again, just go to the * field and run a hundred laps."
"A hundred laps? Do you want me to be on the Red Army's Long March and then become a martyr? ”
"Didn't the teacher tell us to be brave enough to face our weaknesses? It's only 100 laps, and it's only 40,000 meters, which is still far from the 25,000 miles of the Red Army's Long March! If you really don't want to face this weakness of yours, then take care of your mouth, open your legs, no, no, pick up your pen and study hard is what you should do now! I haven't reviewed it yet, my husband is obedient, I'll review it first! ”
Although I was reluctant, I still let her go to review, and it was not easy to disturb the study, and it seemed that I could only study this strange book alone.
In the afternoon, I took the Li Zong and English exams, and I did well, but my mind was still mainly on Zhou Yi.
Sending Bai Jingwen home in the evening, I rode home on the way to a bookstore around, the bookstore was about to close, the boss was ready to go home, I saw that the situation was not good, threw down the car, and quickly rushed in.
"Boss, is there a book on Zhou Yi here?"
"We're closed today, there is, but no one usually buys it, maybe in a corner, boy, why don't you come back tomorrow!"
The boss looked at me tentatively, making me feel cold in my back.
"Boss, please, I really need this book today, please help me find it."
"Okay then, since you've begged me, I can't say anything more about refusing, okay, I'll go home later today and sell you this week."
After the boss finished speaking, he stopped his hand to turn off the light, turned around and walked to the storeroom, and I followed.
The warehouse is very clean, which is very different from the image of the bookstore warehouse in my heart, I used to think that the warehouse was full of books, and there was no aisle, but this warehouse, said to be a warehouse, but it looked like a library, which made people feel very calm and happy, and even had a sense of belonging to home.
The boss began to look for the little red in the flowers, and ten minutes passed, when he suddenly heard the boss shouting and found it.
The boss came down from the ladder, easily holding the book in his hand, and slowly walked towards me, I suddenly felt a sharp pain in the palm of my left hand, and the book in the boss's hand flew straight towards my left hand.
As soon as I saw the book flying towards me, I subconsciously dodged, and the whole person lay on the ground, and the book passed by my ear, and I just gasped for breath, glad that I had dodged the attack.
The book turned a corner in the air and flew at me again, this time I really had nowhere to hide, the book smashed directly on my left hand, I wanted to take it down but I couldn't do it, as if the weight of thousands of pounds was pressed on my hand, my left hand couldn't play, and the book was directly stuck to my hand, I was pressed by the book on my left hand, lying on the ground and couldn't move.
"Boss, why are you throwing me? This book is so heavy, you can help me, it's time for my hand to be amputated in a while! ”
"Young man, I didn't throw the book, it flew over on its own. After twenty years of waiting, I finally got you there. ”
"Boss, I'm only seventeen years old, you said you've been waiting for me for twenty years, isn't this nonsense? Stop talking coolly, you can help me remove this book, and if I don't remove my left hand for a while, it's really time to amputate. ”
"Young man, you're still too young, this is a divine book. Twenty years ago, my bookstore was on the verge of closure at its most difficult time. A man from outside the world came into my bookstore, gave me this book, and told me that there would be a destined person in 20 years, and at that time he handed over the book to him, and told me to make sure that the bookstore could not close down before he came, and gave me 20 gold bars, telling me that when the store could not survive, he sold the gold bars for money, I have been doing well for the past 20 years, and the business in the store is getting better and better, and now there are fifteen gold bars left, you can take them all! ”
"Boss, you're not going to make up a story to trick me, are you?"
"Why is this kid so ignorant, I'm so old, I'm old, I'm idle and have nothing to do, and I spend so much time at night to lie to you, is it interesting? And if I lie to you, why would I give you gold bars? ”
"Boss, how do you know that the destined person is me?"
At that time, I also asked the master how to judge whether it was the person who was destined for this book, and the master said a poem: The night is sparsely closed, and the young man is eager to ask for a book.
The book is in the right hand of the Kun hexagram, and the hand is defeated.
Now you put the book on your right hand and try it. ”
I tried to raise my left hand, but failed again, and the book locked my hand to the ground like a lock, "I can't pick up the book, how can I put it on my right hand?" Could it be that I put my right hand on the book? ”
I had the feeling of being played with between the palms, and I was very unhappy, and I slapped my right hand on the book fiercely, and I regretted it as soon as the palm of my hand came into contact with the book.
I just listened, ah--, and I felt like the palm of my right hand had been cut open by a knife, and the edge of the knife had been ripped open.
I reflexively withdrew my right hand, and when I looked closely, six short lines appeared on my hand, arranged in a 3 by 2 rectangle.
"Could this be the kun hexagram? After I had that lightning dream two days ago, didn't there be three horizontal lines on my left hand? Three times in a row, six in a row, am I really the boy who holds the Qiankun in his hand? ”
