Chapter 55 This World is Crazy After All

The prodigal son of the Luo family and Wang Dalong were taken away by the city guards, and then everyone cheered, because they knew that City Lord Su was impartial and would not favor the Luo family. That was enough.

"Good boy, you know you can't win, but you still fight to the death. That's the stupidity called hot-bloodedness. Even if..."

Somehow, Tu Laosan suddenly felt something and shouted at the top of his voice.

The shout was so abrupt that it immediately attracted the attention of people around.

Everyone turned to look at him, with a hint of surprise in their eyes.

Even Li Xincheng and Xie Liuliang, the master and his disciple, turned their heads to look at Tu Laosan.

Tu Laosan's words made them feel something unusual.

"This gentleman said it well..."

Li Xincheng thought about it for a moment, then nodded and agreed, "I hear you're a learned man, sir. I wonder which branch of Confucianism you belong to?"

Hearing this, Tu Lao San forced an awkward smile on his dark face, waved his hands and said, "What sir? I'm just a rough man who cuts wood and herds cattle. I can't be called a sir."

"what?"

Li Xincheng found it a little hard to believe that the person who could say such profound words could be a woodcutter and cattle herder. Isn't this too unreasonable?
"Are you really a cattle herder?"

Xie Liuliang looked Tu Laosan up and down, also somewhat puzzled.

Although Tu Lao San was wearing a coarse linen shirt full of patches and his straw sandals were covered in mud, looking like a real farmer, how could he possibly say such philosophical words?
Tu Lao San was not happy when he heard this, and snorted coldly, "Why, do you look down on us common people?"

"You know, Mr. Guangzhi said that it is not a shame to be born in a humble family. Only those who can bend and stretch can be called a real man. In the unsettled world, you and I...are nothing more than cattle and horses."

Having said that, Tu Lao San straightened his back, seeming to agree with this statement.

"Tu Laosan, that's not right, that's Dark Horse!" The tall and thin man who was smoking just now couldn't help but correct.

"What dark horse? I just like cows and horses." Tu Lao San glared at the tall and thin man, seeming dissatisfied with him interrupting him.

"..."

The tall and thin man closed his mouth helplessly. He realized that arguing with a stubborn person like Tu Lao San was a sheer waste of time.

At this time, Li Xincheng and Teacher Xie Liuliang were both shocked. How could he be a woodcutter or a cattle herder to be able to utter such philosophical words?

Are they crazy, or is the world upside down?

It is incredible that this country boy, although covered in mud and wearing coarse linen clothes, can speak such profound words.

Xie Liuliang realized that his eyes and words just now might have offended Tu Laosan, so he quickly bowed and apologized: "Don't blame me, old man, I didn't mean to offend you, I just deeply agreed with what you said just now, so I looked at you a few more times."

Seeing Xie Liuliang's sincere attitude, Tu Lao San no longer cared about it, waved his hand and said, "Hey, it's okay, it's okay. Just call me Tu Lao San, don't call me old man, it sounds awkward."

Next, Master Li Xincheng and Master Xie Liuliang each gave their names, and then the three of them had a brief conversation.

Through simple casual chatting, Li Xincheng finally understood why Tu Laosan could say such philosophical words. He also learned about the existence of Fan Lou and storyteller Guangzhi.

The Fanlou opened by Shen Qiu not only influences the people of Tianhuang City with its delicious food, but even the storyteller Guangzhi and the songs sung by the Jiutian Xuanyin group at their concerts are also subtly influencing some people's thoughts without them realizing it.

The storytellers’ jokes and the songs in the concert are like the continuous and silent spring rain. By the time you notice it, the earth has already been soaked by the rain.

……

In Tianhuang City, Wenxin Academy.

"Learning has no limit, learning has no end, if you want to climb to the top..."

A teacher in a blue shirt and with a goatee was shaking his head and explaining the contents of the book in an emotional voice.

"Benevolence, righteousness, propriety, wisdom and trustworthiness are the foundation of human beings..." The teacher spoke with saliva flying, but the students in the audience only understood half of what he said.

"Teacher, this is too profound. I can't understand it. Can you explain it in a simpler way?"

At this time, a chubby student stood up and asked seriously.

This chubby student is usually a bit naughty. Although he looks serious now, he is actually holding back a smile in his heart.

Lyrics: Keep it simple, keep the way you speak simple.

As soon as these words were spoken, the students who understood them burst into laughter. It was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. The originally dull classroom atmosphere instantly became lively.

"Ok?"

The teacher didn't know why these students were suddenly laughing. He was a little confused, but there didn't seem to be anything wrong with what the students said, but it was a little strange.

If he had heard this song, he would know that the student in front of him was playing a trick on him.

……

An exquisite stone bridge spans across the sparkling lake, with willow trees hanging low and swaying in the wind, creating a pleasant scenery.

A young man in gorgeous clothes, holding a folding fan, is walking on the stone bridge.

Suddenly, a fragrant breeze blew by, and a girl in a light pink dress came into view.

Her skin is whiter than snow, her features are picturesque, and her temperament is refined and elegant, which is eye-catching.

"I've confirmed through eye contact that I've met the right person..."

The young man suddenly remembered the lyrics he heard at the Fanlou concert and blurted them out immediately.

He felt that the girl in front of him was the one destined for him, so he straightened his clothes and walked up to her quickly to strike up a conversation.

"Miss, can you tell me my name?"

Hearing this, the woman seemed a little shy and inadvertently revealed a faint smile.

"Your faint smile is like..."

"..."

The young man was so immersed in the play that the lyrics reappeared in his mind and he spoke them out loud.

(Don’t think this is shocking. It may not be a big deal in modern times, but in this world, these things have just become popular.)

When others don’t cooperate with you: I should cooperate with you, but I pretend to turn a blind eye.

When you want to take a girl home: Can I take you home? It may be raining outside?
When the other person makes you feel uncomfortable and you are helpless: What else do you want from me? What do you want?

When you are waiting for someone: the sky is blue and waiting for the mist and rain…you don’t need to say the second half of the sentence “and I am waiting for you”, those who understand will naturally understand.

When you confess your love: The stars are shining tonight… You don’t need to say the second half of the sentence “My heart is full of love for you”, those who understand will understand.

Of course, these lyrics don’t have to be sung, just saying them is fine, and it can be quite interesting in the right circumstances.

……

After a tour around Tianhuang City, Li Xincheng and Xie Liuliang, both master and disciple, began to doubt their lives. Whether it was new things or the strange way of communication among young people, they all had question marks on their faces.

This world is crazy after all, so crazy that they can’t understand it.
