natural craftsman

"I am a student, but since I was in elementary school, I have learned some craftsman's crafts, such as repairing houses and mending shoes, and I can do some of them." Xie Lang said sincerely. No one would think he was lying, because he didn't have any lie.

Xie Lang was born in a family of craftsmen, his grandfather was a famous old carpenter, his father was a mason, and there were many ancient books about ancient mechanisms and equipment in his family. The talent is excellent, as long as he has seen many simple utensils, he can roughly figure out the structure of them.

People in his hometown were already used to Xie Lang's talent, so no one was surprised, but for Ran Xixi and Su Mu, Xie Lang's behavior seemed a bit weird.

"Then how did you know how to use that money pouch and this ring?" Ran Xixi still had doubts in her heart.

"I've heard of these things before, the universe bag and the double-wing ring. My grandfather told me before that thieves used these things in ancient times, and they were only second- and third-rate things. There is nothing unusual about them. I just didn't expect them to There are still people using it." Xie Lang replied, sounding like he didn't think much of these things.

While talking, Xie Lang used the little finger of his left hand to straighten the messy hair on his head.

Xie Lang's little finger is actually not short, but rather slender. What is different from the other nine fingers is that there is a nail more than an inch long on it. The nail is very clean and polished very shiny.

Ran Xixi also saw Xie Lang's nails, but she didn't care. Xie Lang's eyes and expression were very natural when he spoke. According to her experience, what Xie Lang said was the truth.Although she thought Xie Lang was a very strange person, there was nothing wrong with being strange, and Xie Lang had helped her, so she really couldn't question him as a prisoner.

"Thank you so much for today, and you also repaired my shoes." Ran Xixi thanked you.

Seeing Ran Xixi thank you so sincerely, Xie Lang smiled slightly, and said, "It's nothing, as a man, you should always have the spirit of doing what is right, not to mention it's just a little effort."

After the three chatted for a while, the taxi finally arrived at Southern University.

"Ah, this is Southern University. It looks like a magnificent school gate. It seems that this school is bigger than our market." Looking at the magnificent school gate, Xie Lang couldn't help sighing. The school was full of people and it was so lively.

"Look at him like this, he's really stupid." Ran Xixi whispered to her cousin from behind.

"Cousin, why are you speaking ill of her behind her back? I think she is very simple and eager to help, yet you speak ill of her." Su Mu gave Ran Xixi a white look.

"Student Su Mu, then I'll sign up first, so I won't bother you." Xie Lang said to Su Mu and Ran Xixi, and then walked quickly into the school. He couldn't wait to learn about his new life. school.

Xie Lang didn't want to leave the two of them in a hurry, but he was really curious and excited, because the biggest city he had seen before was just their county seat, and it was just a small city with a few streets.Most of the time, even when going out, I would follow my grandfather, that old miser, from one mountain to another to meet those strange relatives and friends of their family.

"Why did he just leave?" Ran Xixi asked strangely, looking at Xie Lang's back.

"It's strange that people are in a hurry to sign up for the school. Not everyone is as leisurely as we are." Su Mu pushed her cousin, "Let's go to school as soon as possible, and go to my student apartment as soon as possible. Help me Let me decorate it, I have never lived in a school apartment, I don't know if I can get used to it."

"Since you're worried that you won't get used to it, why are you clamoring to live in a school apartment? Wouldn't it be great to live directly at my cousin's house? Anyway, I bought a house outside. When the time comes, we two sisters will live together, so we don't have to worry about your uncle and aunt coming It's annoying, how nice." Ran Xixi said, "I'm just a little surprised, why didn't Xie Lang, a silly boy, take the initiative to ask you what department you are in, your phone number, etc. Doesn't it mean that he doesn't want to keep in touch with you?"

"Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about? Why do people contact me if they have nothing to do?" Su Mu opened her big eyes and crossed Ran Xixi.

"Hey, don't you see the way these men look at you? I can guarantee that as long as you wave your hand, there will be a lot of people scrambling to help you carry your luggage, and then try to find out your mobile phone number " Ran Xixi joked with his cousin.In fact, she knew very well that Su Alfalfa was already the hottest figure in their school when she was in high school, and there was an endless stream of suitors, but none of the boys succeeded.But she was a little curious, Xie Lang obviously had such a good opportunity, but why didn't he know how to cherish it?

"If you want to wave your hand, do it yourself, you didn't see that those men are staring at you and drooling." Su Mu replied to Ran Xixi.

If Ran Xixi's temper was more mellow and her violent side was not exposed, she would be comparable to the cover girl of a fashion magazine.Two beauties, one big and one small, stood at the gate of the school, and some boys couldn't hold back for a long time.

Sure enough, before Ran Xixi could wave his hand, several boys came over to ask the two beauties if they needed help.

The boys are all good-looking, almost 1.8 meters tall, and well-dressed. It seems that they have weighed their own weight and dare to strike up a conversation because they think they have a chance to succeed.

But in Ran Xixi's eyes, this person was free labor at best, and he unceremoniously waved them away with all their luggage.

"By the way, Clover, if you see that kid Xie Lang next time, remember to leave his phone number." Ran Xixi said as she walked.

"Then why didn't you ask just now?" Su Mu asked, "And why did you ask someone's phone number?"

"Nonsense, look at how poor he is, can he have a mobile phone? If I asked his mobile phone number just now, wouldn't it be embarrassing for him?" Ran Xixi defended herself, "Don't think about it, I just think this kid It's a little weird, he knows the tools used by thieves so well, he can help me solve the case in the future..."

"Okay, it's better for you to think carefully, then I'll ask him again next time I meet him." Su Mu replied.

In fact, Su Mu was also a little curious about Xie Lang, but like her cousin, she would not say whatever came to her mind without any scruples.

※ ※ ※

In the eyes of Su Mu and Ran Xixi, Xie Lang is a strange and even somewhat miraculous person, but no matter how miraculous a person is, as long as he lives in the world, he has to face the cruelty of reality.

Xie Lang's grandfather, Xie Zhong, was not only an old miser, but also an old stubborn one. As a descendant of court craftsmen, Xie Zhong hated scholars from the bottom of his heart, because he knew that scholars also looked down on craftsmen like them.Moreover, in Xie's family, Xie Zhong is a dictatorial and autocratic person who single-handedly controls the Xie family's politics and economy. It is considered a special kindness for him not to object to Xie Lang's going to college, let alone paying Xie Lang's tuition.As for the money that Xie Lang brought with him, it was all earned from his summer vacation work, and part of it was the private money he had accumulated in the past.

In short, the registration process was not smooth sailing. Although Xie Lang paid in all the money he had with him, there was still a big gap between the high tuition fees.Xie Lang had foreseen this situation in advance. He thought it would be easy to apply for student loans. One screening.

After talking about it, Xie Lang was able to move into the student apartment.

When Xie Lang walked into the dormitory, the other three students had already made their beds and tidied up.

Seeing Xie Lang walk into the dormitory, the three roommates were startled. Looking at Xie Lang's clothes and luggage, they all knew that his family background must be very poor, and they all sighed inwardly. Students from such a family , It is not an easy thing to be admitted to a university.

Seeing the sympathetic or pity eyes of the three, Xie Lang didn't feel any embarrassment, but felt that the three students had a good heart.

Among the three people, there is a fat man about 1.7 meters, a native of Chengdu, named Wu Feifan.One is from Shanghai, about 1.8 meters tall, a standard version of a modern handsome guy with long hair, and his name is Jiang Chengcheng.There is also a strong man from Shaanxi, very dark and stocky, named Lin Qiang.

There are three computers in the dormitory, two desktops and one laptop.By the way, Xie Lang was admitted by the Department of Computer Science. It's not that Xie Lang has a special interest in computers, but because he has never had a chance to touch computers, so he is very curious.

Xie Lang quickly spread the quilt for himself, and then saw that there was an empty shelf in the cupboard, knowing that it was his place, he put the black box in his hand into it.

"Um... Xie Lang, you only brought a suitcase?" the little fat Wu Feifan couldn't stop asking.

Those who came to school, who didn't carry a few large suitcases and pockets.Although Xiaopang lives in Chengdu, he also carried two large suitcases.

"Yes." Xie Lang nodded, "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Fatty finally convinced that Xie Lang was indeed too poor, "You don't have a computer?"

Of course, this is tantamount to asking in vain, how could Xie Lang bring a computer like this?

Xie Lang shook his head and said, "I heard that there are computers in the computer room of the school that can be used. Those things are quite expensive, and I can't afford them."

"It's okay, you can use mine in the dormitory." Wu Feifan pointed to his new computer, "The latest configuration, dual-core dual-graphics card, you can use it as you like, anyway, in the same dormitory, everyone will be brothers in the future. "

"Yes, you can use our computer casually." Lin Qiang and Jiang Chengcheng also said quickly.

"By the way, do you know when you can apply for the student loan?" Xie Lang asked nonchalantly.There is no way, there are only a few dozen dollars left in his pocket, and he just wandered around the school, only to realize that the consumption in big cities is frighteningly high, if he can’t get the student loan, I’m afraid he will have nothing to do with his studies up and down.However, he doesn't want others to know about his difficult situation.
