Chapter 4: Bruises

He returned home in a daze, his mind buzzing, and he didn't even hear Su Ling's call.

"Brother Bujin, Brother Bujin, I'll have supper!"

Dinner was very simple, and it was still a pot of wild vegetable porridge, but it was a little more rice, which made it thicker.

Looking at the bowl of porridge in front of him, Chen Tang was thinking about the matter and did not move his chopsticks.

"Brother Bujin, eat quickly, it will be dark soon."

I can't light the lights at home, and it's hard to see things at night.

Chen Tang calmed down a little, picked up the bowl and burst into tears. After eating, he washed his face casually, and then lay on the bed, thinking about what he had today:

As a young man in the new society, his views on his three aspects have always been very positive. Now this surreal and strange thing happened, which made him suddenly understand:

This world is not normal!

But when I think about it, it is quite abnormal to come to this world. So since I come, I will be at ease and there is nothing I can't accept.

He got up again, picked up the three books given by Chen Song, went to the window, and began to read them in the dim light.

The three books are all commentary on the meaning of the scriptures. In fact, they are Chen Song’s reading notes, experiences, etc. The above records do not contain much unique content, and most of them are clichés.

Chen Tang looked at it and felt disappointed.

But I think so. If Chen Songwen had a great talent, he would have passed the imperial examination a long time ago, so how could he be an old scholar for the rest of his life?

It is not that the three books are useless. Some of the opinions in them are all about experience, and they are about exams. These are exactly what Chen Tang lacks.

After turning around for a while, Chen Tang went back to bed and subconsciously stroked the bruises on his wrist with both hands. It no longer hurts now, and I hope that when I wake up, it will be eliminated tomorrow.

The next day, Chen Tang packed 11 cents of silk gold and sent it to the teacher's house. He kowtowed in front of the teacher's spirit, burned incense, and gave a gift from his disciples...

After doing all this, after leaving, I did not go to the prefecture to make a living, but came home.

Su Ling is not here, so she should go and pick wild fruits.

When he returned to the room, Chen Tang rolled up his sleeves and saw two purple-black bruises, which seemed to be darker than yesterday.

When I reached out to touch it, I felt my skin was hard and slightly raised, which was very strange.

He gasped and thought to himself: What is this? I have no grudges and grudges with the teacher, and I can even be said to be his favorite student. Why did he still harm me if he died?

No, he probably didn't want to harm me, he gave me a letter and gave me a book...

Chen Tang couldn't figure it out.

If it is a normal bruise, it will disappear after resting for a day or two; if Chen Song had a grudge in his heart, Chen Tang also went to the front of the spirit to burn incense and kowtow, and even sealed eleven cents of silk gold - as the rules are, it must be odd.

Eleven cents are not too much, but Chen Tang only had more than twenty cents of money, and he gave nearly half of them all at once.

However, there was no sign of relief from the two bruises, which was enough to indicate that the crux of this was not the case.

After thinking for no reason, Chen Tang sighed and continued to read the three books, hoping to find the answer to the problem.

I don’t know if it was the fusion of the soul, which caused some transformation? Or for other reasons, Chen Tang is now reading books very fast, has a sharp mind, and has greatly improved his memory. It took him more than an hour to read the three books without missing a word.

In fact, each book only has more than 10,000 words.

Thinking about the past, Chen Tang spent his spare time reading long works online, he could only read millions of words at every turn. In comparison, it was really a witch.

After reading it, he was sure that the three books were notes made by the teacher and had nothing to do with wrist bruises.

There is nothing to do about this.

Chen Tang reached out and rubbed his forehead, looking depressed.

"Brother Bujin, are you back?"

Su Ling's voice came. She stood outside the door, holding a bunch of fruit in her hand, light red, washed clean like a bunch of agate.

Chen Tang recognized that the fruit was called "Shanlihong", which tasted sweet and sour, and had a good taste.

"Why don't you come in?"

"I'm afraid of disturbing Brother Bujin's reading."

"Come in, I've finished watching."

Then Su Ling entered the room with the fruit timidly: "Brother Buqin, eat the fruit."

Chen Tang looked at her. The thirteen-year-old girl looked at her mother. She was not short. She was just malnourished for a long time and was very thin and thin. She was covered with patches. She tied her long hair and inserted it with a branch. She washed her face cleanly and was a little dark, but her eyebrows were beautiful and she smiled. She had a dimples on her cheeks, which looked very cute.

When he saw him, Su Ling lowered her head with a blushing face, and her little hands kept rubbing the corners of her clothes.

Chen Tang ate the fruit, sour and refreshed, and praised: "It's delicious."

Su Ling's eyes lit up: "Now in summer, the fruits are gradually ripe. Brother Bujin likes to eat them. I will pick them for you every day."

Chen Tang hurriedly said, "I heard that the fruit grows quite steep, and there are wild animals in the mountains. Don't go deep into the mountains."

"I have been climbing mountains since I was a child and I'm spoiled. Brother Bujin doesn't have to worry."

Su Ling said.

Chen Tang sighed: "I have no ability, you will suffer after you follow me."

Su Ling waved her hand quickly: "Brother Bujin, you helped me so much and took me in. I'm very satisfied."

Chen Tang smiled slightly, reached out to touch her hair: "Believe me, tomorrow will be better, we will definitely live a good life."

"Um!"

Su Ling nodded heavily and looked firm.

In order to "better tomorrow", Chen Tang got up early the next morning, ate wild vegetable porridge, carried a bookcase and rushed to the prefecture. When he arrived at Hanmo Street, he set up a small stall with a look of anticipation.

But Hanmo Street is already popular, and I haven't seen anyone come for a long time. When the person comes, he is still the yamen runner Wang Dazhuang who collects money.

After paying the stall fee, there was only a few cents left in my pocket. I was so poor that I was so poor that I remembered that the rice jar at home had already reached the bottom. If I had no business today, I was afraid that I would not be able to eat wild vegetable porridge and could only drink wild vegetable soup.

Chen Tang was secretly anxious, but business is useless to be impatient. It is almost noon, but the market is still not open.

"Master Dao walked slowly!"

In a calligraphy and painting shop in front, the guy politely sent a Taoist priest out.

The Taoist priest was about forty years old, with three short beards, and was handsome. He was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe and holding a banner in his hand, which read: Iron mouth God's calculating, exorcising evil and destroying delusion.

It turned out to be a fortune teller.

Walking out of the calligraphy and painting shop, the Taoist priest walked towards this side. When he walked to Chen Tang's stall, he suddenly stopped.

Chen Tang was happy and thought that there was a business coming. When he was about to greet him, he heard the Taoist priest say, "Scholar, have you encountered something strange recently?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Tang couldn't help but be discouraged. He didn't have any business at home, but others were doing business to his own head. He was about to wave his hand to drive him away when he suddenly remembered the teacher's affairs and he couldn't help but hesitate and asked, "What did you see?"

The Taoist priest stroked his beard with a very stylish look and said, "I feel the evil spirit on you."

"Evil?"
