I nodded. To be honest, even if Wen Jiubai didn't say anything, I still have this feeling in my heart. Although I don't know what it is yet, it is true that some subtle changes seem to be happening around Yancheng.
"I'm very concerned about some things, so I made a fortune here yesterday." Wen Jiubai sat down in front of the porch, and said slowly, "Do you know 'Xun'?"
I nodded hesitantly, "One of the gossip... right?" Besides that, I really don't know anything else.
"Xun represents the wind, and it also has the meaning of dissipating. In the "Shiming" of the Han Dynasty, it is said: 'Xun, scattered, everything is scattered and scattered.' Originally, this hexagram should have the meaning of good weather, but... "Wen Jiubai hesitated to speak, looked into the distance and fell silent.
After hearing this, I walked up to Wen Jiubai, reached out my hand suddenly, and knocked him on the head.
Wen Jiubai obviously didn't expect me to make such a move at all, and he was immediately stunned by me.
"I told you, you always like to overcomplicate things." I said, "A lot of things may not be as complicated as you think. What kind of hexagrams, what fate, or things related to the universe and creatures?" Big theory. While I admit that most of the theories you say make sense and are fascinating, you can’t live your life thinking about that kind of thing every day. I would say that the joy of life lies in the unknown, because not knowing What will happen in the future, that's why people have expectations when they are alive. Although there are always many unlucky things, but as the saying goes, people are born to suffer, and there is no day that is not suffering."
After I finished speaking, I scratched my head again, always feeling like a little old man when I spoke.
"So, what I mean is that you don't have to study divination all the time. Since you don't know the future, you should take a step and see. I will work hard, and I won't always be behind you An oil bottle."
Wen Jiubai first looked at me in surprise, and then smiled, "Gu Yu, you...you always bring me surprises. This is really a rare thing for an old man like me."
old man
That's right, Wen Jiubai must have lived in this world much longer than I did. Even the old house we are sitting in now is the former residence of Cao Xueqin.
Wait, speaking of which, did I forget something? Yes, that's right, what did you forget
"Wen Jiubai!" I yelled, "Did you promise me something before!"
Wen Jiubai was taken aback, "What's the matter?"
"Your identity! You promised me before, if we can escape unscathed this time, you will tell me your identity!" I said immediately, "Say it yourself, did you say that?"
Wen Jiubai rolled his eyes and nodded, "Well, that's right, I did say that."
I immediately showed a triumphant smile, but before I could say anything, Wen Jiubai interrupted me again.
"But... Gu Yu, do you know the meaning of the word 'retire completely'?"
"Huh?" I was baffled.
"Look at you, here on the neck." Wen Jiubai's voice suddenly softened, he stretched out a hand, and touched the front of my neck. I flinched subconsciously, and looked down.
"You're all bruised and purple here, it must have been caused when you were entangled with the parasitic soul." Wen Jiubai's voice showed a hint of distress, "If I knew it earlier, I would have given you some medicine to apply it on."
"Ah, this little injury is okay..." I said subconsciously, then stopped suddenly, and looked at Wen Jiubai suspiciously, "Wait, what do you mean by that?"
"What? It's not interesting." Wen Jiubai showed a sly smile that I was very familiar with, and put his hands into the sleeves of his coat, "It's just that, it's not considered a retreat."
I immediately said angrily: "What? You are making unreasonable words!"
"Where did I make unreasonable words, what I said is obviously the truth." Wen Jiubai still had that smiling face that deserved to be beaten.
"Fact size! Aren't you playing tricks?"
"Well, then you jumped into the pit voluntarily, didn't you?"
"Wen Jiubai!"
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, come here, I'll apply some medicine to your neck." Wen Jiubai stood up after speaking, and found a tube of ointment from the drawer of the wooden table beside him.
I sat where I was annoyed and helpless, I would never be able to quarrel with Wen Jiubai's mouth when it came to quarreling, I could only be sullen all by myself.
Wen Jiubai's wide and clean fingers were covered with ointment, and he stroked along my bruised skin. This guy's strength was beyond doubt, and I couldn't even dodge it.
"Children's temper." Wen Jiubai chuckled.
"You still have the face to criticize me!" I glared at him angrily, and seriously considered whether to bite him.
"You will always know about my identity in the future." Wen Jiubai said lightly, not even giving anyone room to interrupt.
"If you don't want to say it, don't say it, don't find those weird reasons." I rolled my eyes, "As if I care so much."
Wen Jiubai didn't respond to my words, but turned the topic in another direction.
"Well, speaking of it, I seem to be a teacher in your school for a while longer."
"Huh?" I didn't respond for a while.
"Well, the matter was resolved faster than I expected, and I agreed to be an ancient Chinese teacher at your school for a month." Wen Jiubai said with a smile, "So, see you in class tomorrow."
When I saw Wen Jiubai's smile, I felt trembling in my heart, "You, what do you want to do!"
"Oh, now that the incident is over, I can justly use my position to bully you." Wen Jiubai smiled cunningly.
———————
In this way, I returned to my relaxed daily life. Because of the parasitic soul incident, my relationship with Su Xiaoyun and Shi Yitong became closer. Except... this guy Wen Jiubai really does what he says, every time I go to the class of ancient Chinese, I have to tense up to 20 points to ensure that I won't be messed up by this guy.
"Gu Yu!"
While my upper and lower eyelids were fighting and my eyes were bleary, my name was suddenly called, which made me have to hold my head up. "
"Where did I talk just now?" Wen Jiubai asked with a smile on his face.
I knew he was going to punish me, so I stood up helplessly, scratched my hair, and said in a loud voice, "The sycamore tree, the rain in the third watch, it is hard to leave love. One leaf, one sound, the empty steps drip bright."
