official ruffian

The train going north roared, Cao Shangfei looked at the scene outside the car, and felt very happy. It was already mid-August, Cao Shangfei took a few days off when he was free, and went north to the capital to see Professor Xu Jingqing. In escaping, this time, with the encouragement of Lin Xiyuan, Niaotong and others, he finally mustered up the courage to bravely face something that he had missed. He doesn't seem to care about whether he can be included in the door wall by Professor Xu Jingqing. In fact, he has always hoped to study under Professor Xu Jingqing.

Whether Cao Shangfei will be included in the gate wall by Xu Jingqing when he goes to the capital this time, he is really wondering, because he hopes not to study out of production, but to study while working, and to go during the exam. Let Cao Shangfei study out of production, study for four years, and then go back to work. He really doesn't have the patience to be an official while he is still young.

If Professor Xu refuses to accept it, I can only blame myself for not having a relationship with him as a teacher and student. When I go back to get a self-study diploma, an undergraduate diploma is still necessary, lest Xiyuan and her family look down on her. She can like me like this A ruffian, I absolutely can't let her be wronged again.

Feeling that there was one more person beside him, Cao Shangfei dispelled his thoughts and turned around to see a middle-aged man in his 40s and [-]s sitting in the empty seat beside him. A white T-shirt, wearing a pair of cloth shoes, meticulous hair parted in the middle, wearing a pair of large sunglasses, two long beards that move with the movement of the lips, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, like a blind man.

Cao Shangfei lost interest and turned his head, but he heard the man say mysteriously: "Young man, I see that your heavenly court is full and the ground is round, and the three stops are even, and you have a good face. You are going north to the capital." Bar!"[

Hehe, good guy, I met someone who is a fan of the world. I don’t know if it’s because I’m young and think I’m a swindler. Cao Shangfei has no interest in talking nonsense with him, so he said lightly: "Yes!"

He turned his head and looked at Cao Shangfei, "Young man, is it going north to visit relatives, to study, or to do business!"

"Brother, can you see me?" Seeing that he was "watching" carefully, Cao Shangfei asked leisurely, but to his surprise, the middle-aged man took off his sunglasses calmly, The binocular "thief" is full of spirit, and said, "Why can't I see it!"

"You are not blind!"

"Who told you, I'm blind. Could it be that I'm blind if I wear sunglasses and hold a bamboo stick?" The middle-aged man's long beard trembled violently. Putting on the sunglasses again amidst Cao Shangfei's stunned expression, "I'm just blind!"

Cao Shangfei was a little confused, he really didn't know whether this middle-aged man was blind or not, but looking at the "thief"'s eyes, Cao Shangfei felt that the other party should not be blind, and blind people should not have such bright eyes. The old man held the bamboo stick with his left hand and pinched his fingers with his right hand, "Well, so the young man went north to study, good, very good, it shows that you are very self-motivated, young man, your parents are gone, right? There are noble people to help each time, and the danger is saved, and the future achievements will be limitless!"

Cao Shangfei was startled suddenly, he was shocked when the other party said that his parents were no longer there, he turned his head again and looked up and down the middle-aged man who didn't know if he was blind until now, what did he see, or did he just say something Nonsense, people who live in the rivers and lakes want to deceive people, and most of them speak ambiguous words, and they mainly speak good words, but he does not hesitate to say that he is a lonely person everywhere, does he really have the ability?

"Young man, do you want to tell your fortune? Three hexagrams a day are only counted as predestined people. No money is not allowed. The hexagram gold is five hundred." The middle-aged man was as immobile as a mountain. Blushing and heartbeating, I don't know if it's really capable, or it's thick-skinned, and I don't worry about being exposed by others, "Well, let me see this, the young man still doesn't believe a certain divination, I will try my skills first, and I will give you a piece of paper for free. Guess it." A flash of light flashed in the eyes of the middle-aged man, but it was blocked by the sunglasses, so others couldn't see it at all, and he found three copper coins out of nowhere in his hand.

"Scatter." The middle-aged man shook his hand and let out a soft drink. The three copper coins in his hand shot out like three small flowers, but landed lightly on the small table, "Carp leaping over the dragon's gate, young man, not bad, really good!" , The carp leaps over the dragon gate, leaps over the dragon gate, turns into a dragon, and from then on one day soars into the sky, which is beyond words!"

There is a legend about the carp jumping over the Dragon Gate. A long time ago, before the Dragon Gate was dug open, Yishui flowed to Yumen Gate and was blocked by Longmen Mountain. A large lake was formed in the south of the mountain. Carp in the Yellow River heard that Longmen was beautiful, so they all wanted to go and see it. , They started from the Yellow River in Mengjin, Henan, passed through the Luohe River, and followed the Yihe River to the place where the water splashed in Longmen, but they couldn't go up the waterway on Longmen Mountain, so they had to gather at the foot of the North Mountain of Longmen.

"I have an idea, let's skip Longmen Mountain." A beautiful big red carp said to everyone.

"It's so high, how can you jump!"

"If you don't dance well, you'll fall to your death." The partners were in a hurry to make up their minds.

The big red carp volunteered and said, "I'll jump first, give it a try." I saw it exerted all its strength from half a mile away, like an arrow off the string, jumped up and jumped into the clouds for half a day, driving The clouds and rain in the sky moved forward, and a cloud of sky fire chased after it and burned its tail. Enduring the pain, it continued to leap forward, and finally crossed Longmen Mountain and fell into the lake in the south of the mountain.

The carps in the north of the mountain saw that the tails of the big red carp were burned by the sky fire, and they were all scared and huddled together, not daring to take the risk anymore. My partner, Big Red Carp, because I jumped over the Dragon Gate, I became a dragon, you have to jump bravely." Hearing these words, the carps were encouraged and began to jump over Longmen Mountain one by one, except for a few. Except for jumping over and turning into a dragon, most of them can't get through.

This is the legend of the carp jumping over the Dragon Gate. Later, Li Bai wrote a poem about it: "The three-foot carp in the Yellow River originally lived in Mengjin, but it didn't become a dragon when its forehead was tapped, and it came back with mortal fish!"

"Young man, you can pass your studies this time, so you can rest assured." The middle-aged man chuckled, picked up the three copper coins again, and stroked them gently, "Young man, five hundred and one hexagrams, do you want Calculate!"

Cao Shangfei suddenly became interested. Five hundred yuan may be a lot for ordinary people, but it is nothing to him. He wants to see what this middle-aged man with a lot of tongue can say. Cao Shangfei He took out 500 yuan from his pocket and put it gently on the table, "You figure it out for me, what is your future like!"

"Okay." The middle-aged man's two beards shook violently. With a flick of his right hand, the 500 yuan on the table disappeared. [

The middle-aged man put away the money, and scattered three copper coins again. The copper coins fell on the table without a sound. Cao Shangfei was slightly startled, and looked at the middle-aged man in surprise. He seemed to have some skills. It can be done, this is the sound, this should not be practice makes perfect, because when he threw the copper coins, the copper coins were still spinning, changing the trajectory, even if practice makes perfect, then the copper coins can be scattered so imposingly, so quietly, Seeing such a wonderful scene, my 500 yuan is worth it.

The middle-aged man seemed to be staring at the three copper coins. The fingers of his right hand were twitching quickly, and his left hand was stroking the beard. His fingers were twitching faster and faster. Can't see clearly, the middle-aged man frowned slightly, stroking the beard with his left hand, he suddenly took it off from the small beard, and quickly pinched it, "What's going on, what's going on, why can't I figure it out? Possibly, this is absolutely impossible." The middle-aged man muttered to himself, his face was covered with sweat.

Seeing this scene, Cao Shangfei was amazed, no way, this guy has gone crazy, this performance is getting more and more exciting, it is really hard to be confident.

Suddenly, the middle-aged man sighed dejectedly, and stopped pinching his hands, "Young man, it's so expensive, I can't figure out your future, so I don't want the 500 yuan gold." The 500 yuan in cash reappeared on the table, and he gently handed the money to Cao Shangfei.

Cao Shangfei was stunned, extremely surprised, thinking that the other party returned the money to him, could it be that he is really a capable person, if he is a liar, how could he spit out the 500 yuan he got again.

"Since we meet today, I will give you a book as a commemoration. I hope to meet again someday. Don't forget that there is another meeting day today!"

"I want to be a fairy, fly a crane to the sky, turn a stone into gold, it's wonderful..." Cao Shangfei watched the middle-aged man get up, holding a bamboo stick in his hand, humming an inexplicable tune, doing his own thing, ignoring the surrounding sight Seeing her, she walked leisurely down the aisle, and quickly disappeared into the carriage.

Cao Shangfei looked at his disappearing back and listened to the inexplicable tune. He felt a sense of loss in his heart. He turned his head and saw that there was an extra thread-bound book at the place where the middle-aged man was sitting, only about a dozen pages. There are two words written on it: Tai Chi, Cao Shangfei recalled that when the middle-aged man left, he said that he would give a book as a souvenir. It is estimated that this book was given by him.

Is this Taoist scriptures or boxing books, Cao Shangfei was a little curious, opened the book, hey, this is a boxing book of Taijiquan, isn’t it, it’s such a big-budget gift, you can buy several copies for ten yuan, besides , I am also interested in boxing and so on, Cao Shangfei sighed, and wanted to throw the book out of his hand, but finally thought about it, it was given by someone else anyway, so he decided to keep it for a while, anyway, it’s just a few pages, don’t take it up Where.

ps, the bottleneck is still there, there is still only three shifts today, but today is a little smoother, and tomorrow is probably about the same, and there will be five shifts tomorrow,
