Proof of Longevity

Zhang Shiyang looked at Ma Hao, who was reading, and read the words of the righteous song in his mouth, only to see a trace of white silk on the top of his head. Although this silk thread is weak and small, it is full of the strong and powerful aura. This aura can deter ghosts and evil spirits. It is the aura between heaven and earth. The aura of the heaven and the earth is everywhere, but the one who can gather the aura of the awe-inspiring, that is not the great scholar who has read the book for a lifetime, but the aura of the awe-inspiring is something that many scholars can't ask for after reading the book for a lifetime, and Ma Hao can be weak. At this age, he has cultivated a lot of righteousness, but he is a good seedling of reading, and he has a great chance to become a great Confucian in the future. Zhang Shiyang secretly made up his mind, but in the future, he will train this Ma Hao well.

Zhang Shiyang waited for these children to recite the righteous qi song before starting the formal class: "Today we are learning numeracy. We cannot do without numeracy in life. Shopping, selling, etc. cannot be separated from numeracy. I will teach you today. Basic arithmetic, first learn addition and subtraction." These children are all eager to learn, and they also know that the opportunity to study is hard-won, and cherish each and every one. The arithmetic here refers to the addition and subtraction in modern times. These children learn very interestingly. They count the tables and people at the same time, and the day has passed. Zhang Shiyang said to the group of children: "You will not use it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, let you take two days off." These children all jumped up and cheered when they heard the words, and then picked up the bookcase and ran to the parents. Zhang Shiyang was helpless. He still had something to say, so he could only shout from a distance: "Don't forget to review your homework when you go home."

Not knowing how many children could hear it, Zhang Shiyang went back to his house and started cooking. At the beginning of the next day, Zhang Shiyang took a hatchet and a rope and went up the mountain. Seeing a suitable branch, Zhang Shiyang looked down and prepared to go home to make a big basket. It's not too difficult to make a basket, as long as you understand the trick. Zhang Shiyang's arranging baskets is not just for holding things, but he thought of someone in his previous life who used bamboo baskets to buckle sparrows.

The so-called sparrow buckle is to buckle the basket on the ground and then use a wooden stick to support one side of the basket. A rope is tied to the wooden stick. The person takes the other end of the rope and hides it far away, and then sprinkles under the bamboo basket. Get some rice, and when the bird comes to peck, the sparrow will be caught underneath as soon as the rope is pulled. Of course, there are not only sparrows in this world, but also many other birds, all of which are edible. Zhang Shiyang used the remaining branches to weave a few bird cages, and then the great cause of detaining birds began. Zhang Shiyang's luck was really good. In the first round, four or five birds were deducted. However, they were not directly cooked or eaten by Zhang Shiyang. Instead, they were raised in captivity and heard the chirps of birds every day. Gives a sense of joy.

Soon Zhang Shiyang’s method of catching birds became popular throughout the village. All men, women and children in the village would detain birds as long as they had free time. Later, people wondered that it is easier to detain birds on the mountain, and there are more species of birds on the mountain. The method is the best way to improve the food in the village. Zhang Shiyang's prestige has skyrocketed. He is worthy of being a scholar, but he is better at pondering than ordinary people, smarter than ordinary people, and more mindful. People sometimes give Zhang Shiyang vegetables. After all, Zhang Shiyang’s food has not grown up and cannot be eaten. Every time these children come to school, each of them will bring Zhang Shiyang some home vegetables.

With the passage of time, the education level of this group of children has greatly increased, and the bodies of the people in the village have gradually become stronger. After all, you can often go to the mountains to catch birds, fight teeth, and pay homage to the stomach. If you eat meat, your body will naturally become stronger. ,health. Zhang Shiyang himself also raised more than 30 chickens and two dogs. These two dogs have black hair and strong limbs. In addition, Zhang Shiyang often goes up the mountain to collect some herbs to make pills for strengthening the muscles and bones. Dogs eat, so these two dogs are physically stronger than one day, and the dog may be fed pills by Zhang Shiyang, and is actually psychic. Every day, he will take care of a group of chicks to go to the mountain for food.

You have to know that there are all kinds of animals on this mountain, foxes, wolves, and so on. Some small carnivores, and this dog will go up the mountain to hunt by itself, sometimes it will bring back deer-like animals, and then they will be pickled in jars by Zhang Shiyang. Prepare it or dry it directly to make bacon. Zhang Shiyang couldn't eat eggs and the like. He often distributed the eggs to these children, and then these children took them home to improve the food for the family. The Haoran righteousness on the top of Ma Hao's head was a little bit stronger, but Zhang Shiyang felt very pleased when he looked at it. This Ma Hao has cultivated Haoran righteousness at a young age. It is not impossible to worship the image.

Four months have passed in a blink of an eye. Winter is here and the first snow is coming as expected. However, this school is very warm. There is an iron basin inside, and the charcoal inside is burning with a raging fire. There is even some hot inside the house. sense. Walking into the classroom, Zhang Shiyang subconsciously glanced at Ma Hao’s previous position, but found that the little boy in tattered clothes had not come. Zhang Shiyang thought about it and started today’s new course. Today’s course is for reading. Get the book of the founding history: "The old father founded the country, the southern expedition and the northern war, the civil and military strategy,,,".

After class was over, Zhang Shiyang took a book and walked towards the house of Widow Horse. Speaking of the horse widow, Zhang Shiyang was only when recruiting students. When the horse widow sent Ma Hao to school, she had a relationship with her, and she basically never met him in the village the rest of the time. After walking for about 20 minutes, Zhang Shiyang came to a rather dilapidated walled courtyard, knocked on the door lightly, and a dog barked inside, followed by a familiar voice: "Who?"

Zhang Shiyang heard Ma Hao's voice, so he said softly: "It's me, Zhang Shiyang." Then I heard an exclamation from inside, and then the door opened with a creak, and Ma Hao saluted: "It turns out that it was the husband who came to the door in person. The student Ma Hao has seen the husband." Zhang Shiyang stepped forward to support Ma Hao: "No need to be polite." Let Zhang Shiyang into the house and pour a bowl of hot water for Zhang Shiyang. Zhang Shiyang looked at the house for a while. This house is almost indistinguishable from the family’s four walls. I wonder if the widow of the horse is struggling to support this family and she has to feed Ma Hao. It is not easy for Ma Hao to study.

Zhang Shiyang said, "Why didn't you see your mother?" Ma Hao said "Ah", and then said: "My mother recently caught a cold and is bedridden." Zhang Shiyang nodded, "Have you seen a doctor?". Ma Hao looked ugly: "Students are from a poor family, and it's good to be able to survive. I don't need a few dollars to see a doctor, so I look down on the doctor." Zhang Shiyang nodded when he heard the words, and when he looked at this room, he knew that Ma Hao's house was really not doing very well. Zhang Shiyang looked at Ma Hao: "I'm a bit familiar with Huang's technique, I don't know if I can take me over to see."

Ma Hao was surprised when he heard the words: "The teacher still knows the technique of Qi Huang?". The teacher is here, please, and when you say that, you will take Zhang Shiyang to the west house. It is not too cold to enter the house. At this time, the horse widow is lying on the bed under the blanket. In the coma, at this time, there is no veil on, a face is leaking outside, it really looks extraordinary, like a quiet fairy, and coupled with this morbid state, it is more like a fairy in the West Lake, it is really amazing. People can't wait to be sympathetic. Ma Hao was on the side, but Zhang Shiyang didn't look much at it, and said to Ma Hao: "Take out your mother's arm, I will take her pulse." Hearing this, Ma Hao immediately lifted a corner of the quilt and took out the horse widow's jade arm, Zhang Shiyang put his finger on the pulse. I just feel that the skin is delicate, like a baby. After taking the pulse for a while, Zhang Shiyang retracted his finger, and naturally stuffed the horse widow's arm into the quilt. When he touched a large area of ​​skin, he felt quite beautiful. Ma Hao didn’t know about men’s and women’s affairs when he was young. Zhang Shiyang prescribed a prescription and said to Ma Hao: “This prescription can be completely cured with only two doses. As for the herbal medicine, there are some in my house. You can get it with me. Right".

The two went out one after the other and rushed to Zhang Shiyang’s home. Fortunately, Zhang Shiyang had collected a lot of herbs on the mountain before, and quickly found all the medicinal materials needed, and then gave Ma Hao a basket of eggs, and A bunch of bacon: "Your mother is sick, take these things back to replenish her vitality, and don't delay your homework. This is a new article today. Take it back and read it carefully. Don't take the course. Next, I already know the situation of your family. You don’t have to pay for school in the future. You can think of a solution for the rest. You can go back first.” Ma Hao heard that his eyes were wet, and no one had ever treated him so nicely, but he choked up but didn't know what to say: "Teacher...". Zhang Shiyang patted him on the shoulder: "Go back, your mother is still waiting for the medicine, don't delay the illness". Ma Hao didn't say a word, just bowed a deep bow, and ran out the door with something in his arms.
