The big man is on the run

Chapter 58 Extra Story: Mr. Shui Jing and His Apprentices

Jingzhou, Xiangyang.

This is a small courtyard surrounded by a fence made of bamboo poles.

There is a rare grape trellis by the side of the house covered with ivy, and an old bluestone chess board is placed under it.

"Gah~"

Hearing the sound of ducks calling, Xu Shu took a few steps around. To the north of the courtyard was a gurgling river.

The youngest, only 14-year-old Zhuge Liang, is squatting by the river, obediently washing dishes.

Different from Guanzhong in the north, the riverside in the south is still green and grassy at this time, with pink and white flowers blooming on a few bushes, which complement the floating ducks hidden behind the delicate lotus.

A breeze blew through the treetops, and the willows higher than the roof swayed with the wind, as if nodding to Xu Shu.

The light and shadow of the sun is like a scarlet horse, reflecting a little shimmer on the water surface under the Fenghe Bridge, which is very beautiful.

"Gah~"

Listening to the annoying duck calls, Pang Tong, who was stealing grapes, trembled. Even if he stepped on the chessboard, he still couldn't reach it at the age of 16.

"I'll help you."

Xu Shu is 25 years old this year. He also worked as a ranger. He is tall and tall, and he jumped up and picked a bunch of grapes with ease.

Pang Tong swallowed, and asked with a guilty conscience.

"This is a rarity, Mr. Shui Jing won't blame it?"

"Haven't you heard the story of 'Water mirror pushing a pig'?"

"No." Pang Tong's face full of pimples was shiny.

"Eat, sir will not blame you."

The two grape thieves carefully tasted the rare grapes in Jingzhou. Although the grapes were not big, not too sweet, and slightly sour, they still left Xu Shu and Pang Tong with endless aftertaste.

Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui got up from his midday nap, and stepped out of the house in a toga with long sleeves.

"Who is the first to wake up to a big dream? I know it all my life. The Caotang is full of sleep in autumn, and the sun is late outside the window."

"gentlemen!"

Zhuge Liang also ran back after washing the dishes and chopsticks. He shook the water stains on his hands and looked at Mr. Shuijing Sima Hui with a hint of longing in his eyes.

"Ok?"

"I want to eat grapes!"

Xu Shu and Pang Tong looked at the broken grape vine somewhere and remained silent.

"Then you go pick it."

Zhuge Liang didn't need to try, he knew that he couldn't reach it even if he stepped on the stone altar.

So, he looked at Sima Hui eagerly.

Sima Hui smiled, hugged Zhuge Liang, and Zhuge Liang finally picked a bunch of grapes.

"Sir, eat first."

"The two elder brothers eat too." Zhuge Liang blinked at the two of them.

Xu Shu and Pang Tong looked up at the sky and looked down at the ground.

"Do you know the news about the imperial court's great victory in Zheng County?"

"heard."

"I heard people say that Zhu Huan's command is determined, and the emperor is also very heroic. It is said in Xiangyang that this is the second Guangwu sent by the sky to rejuvenate the great man."

"Then do you know that Gan Ning, the leader of the Jinfan bandits on the Yangtze River, made great contributions in this battle and became a general of Zhonglang?"

Xu Shu, Pang Tong and Zhuge Liang shook their heads blankly.

"Time is also fate."

Mr. Shui Jing, Sima Hui, smiled faintly, and asked, pointing to the book on the chess world.

"Tell me, how can a book fly?"

This is obviously a metaphor for others, and Pang Tong, Xu Shu, and Zhuge Liang pondered for a while.

Pang Tong was quick-witted and answered first: "If you meet someone who is willing to spend money on this book, make a special paper kite and fly with it?"

"wrong."

Sima Hui pushed aside the grapes, looked at the crystal-clear flesh under the sun, and gave a negative answer.

"When the wind blows, books will naturally fly. One's achievements depend not only on the general trend of the world, but also on one's hard work, but in the end it depends on the general trend."

Xu Shu's answer seems to make sense. He has experienced more social beatings in his younger years, and he has a more thorough understanding of the relationship between the times and individuals.

Mr. Shui Jing smiled and shook his head, twirling his beard in silence.

Now Pang Tong and Xu Shu were scratching their heads. This is not right, and that is not right. Is this question so difficult?

They all looked at Zhuge Liang, who was recognized as the smartest.

"It is very important to meet people who are willing to spend money on this book, and it is also very important to have a momentum that can be relied on."

Zhuge Liang sighed and said the answer slowly.

"But the most important thing is to follow up!"
