Soon, the little people started talking about this topic.
“Wow, that’s a great description. It’s like moving mountains and filling seas. I just said that, but I just can’t think of the word.”
“ Haha, I just hate that I am uneducated and can go all over the world with just a word of wow!"
"Fuck you, you are so obvious. Besides, isn't this normal? The mountain god's special power is... I'll go, you. It’s very cool to say that this is a mountain?”
“Isn’t this a mountain?”
“Your mountain is so dark and shiny! Crossing this kind of mountain? You fool!"
"Well, that makes sense. The mountains are either wood-green or earthy and stone-colored. Pure black ones are rare."
"You. What a fool, it’s rare to see someone so cool, there’s no such thing as pure white snow-capped mountains, even the best black gold mines are not that dark!”
"I'm sorry, your mouth seems to have been opened. Listen! It's really..."
At the same time, on the other side of the coal sculpture mountain, there was a shock among the people running in front. call.
"Oh my god, this is actually black gold stone! The best black gold ore!"
With this man's shouting, many people quickly gathered around him.
A large group of people instantly surrounded this black mountain.
"Really? What a bastard! Really! It's really black gold ore. Grandpa Mountain God is also very kind to us."
"With so much black gold ore, Gold mine, a mine of pure black gold ore, how long do we have to burn it out?"
"Go away, you wasteful thing, such a good black gold ore mine, let you burn it. It's a shameful thing."
"But... what else can this thing be used for if it doesn't make a fire?"
"This is one of the few gods we have here. Signs, with this thing, it can prove that we have blessings from heaven, which symbolizes wealth and good luck. How auspicious.” The mountain god gave us something to tide us over. We almost ran out of people to make fires and cook. The mountain god gave us a helping hand, and you are still messing around with these useless things!"
"Swearing? You curse! How can you curse! You..."
"I just scolded you. What's wrong? Who asked you to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf? I don't believe you won't burn this black gold ore."
"I didn't pretend, I really..."
"Okay, shut up, don't use it if you have the guts!"
"I..."
"I am who I am, just say no if you have the guts!" "
"Why..."
"Why? Just because you are so particular. Look at how perfect and beautiful this black gold stone mine is, with the stones and trees on it. , They are all just like the real thing, lifelike and lifelike. You are such a particular person, you can’t bear to mine them for fire, right?”
The man was breathing heavily, as if the words were stuck in his throat. I couldn't say a word.
Xu Boan's eyes and ears suddenly felt that something was wrong.
These little guys are obviously different from the previous friends who were teasing and laughing. Those people before could still hear the tone of the joke.
The tone of these people behind them didn't sound like they were joking at all, they were just yelling and scolding!
In Xu Bo'an's impression, the little guys in the bonsai area have always lived in harmony and helped each other.
But now, all this has subverted Xu Boan's inherent impression.
When did the harmonious atmosphere in the bonsai become so antagonistic? The relaxed environment of the past was completely gone.
Xu Bo'an was just about to ask what was going on when he heard Li Kanshan and Li Laosan in the distance looking at the changes here with serious expressions, discussing and analyzing in a deep voice.
"His third uncle, we can't go on like this!" Li Kanshan looked at the crowd in the distance with a solemn expression. Because of the gift from the mountain god, his originally happy expression was not diluted a lot.
Li Laosan pursed his lips and shook his head, sighing: "Yes, these people are getting more and more noisy."
Li Kanshan sighed and said in embarrassment : "Alas, there are too many people, and it is difficult to control them. They are all fellow villagers, either relatives or friends, so why..."
Li Laosan couldn't help but said: "I used to complain about the yamen. Now it seems that the Yamen is still necessary, otherwise this kind of thing cannot be done just by relying on self-consciousness!"
Li Kanshan nodded and said in agreement: "Yes, especially these broken people. Things are right when the public says they are right and the mother-in-law says they are right. They all sound reasonable and sound correct. It would be okay if they were all from our village. But the current situation is not suitable for anyone. It is not suitable for people in my own village to say it. You favor your own people and exclude outsiders, and the villagers in our own village will inevitably feel disappointed and say that it is not easy to turn our elbows outward."
Xu Bo'an nodded slightly when he heard this. As the saying goes, it is difficult for an upright official to deal with household affairs, and he was talking about such nonsense.
Hearing Li Kanshan’s words, Li Laosan also felt that he felt the same. He nodded heavily and agreed.
In his opinion, Li Kanshan’s worries were not unreasonable. In the past, he was from his own village. Based on his prestige as an elder and even everyone's past, he was able to handle disputes easily, and people were still convinced.
In today’s situation, if you are not careful, it will hurt people’s hearts. It may even cause people to leave in anger, causing the population loss here, which is contrary to the expectations of Grandpa Mountain God. This is a shame for Grandpa Mountain God. Take care of it.
Li Laosan sighed and said: "Who says it's not the case, but right now... alas! Otherwise, why don't you have the nerve to invite the Saint to come and see her again? The Saint represents the mountain god after all. If she comes forward, it will definitely work. The situation yesterday was even worse than this. Wouldn't the saint be able to calm down with just a few words?"
Xu Bo'an was surprised when he heard this.
Hey, I seem to understand a little bit. This is not an accident!
Listen to this, there is actually foreplay in this matter? Did you miss something exciting?
Li Kanshan's face wrinkled slightly, and his already dry face was even more wrinkled. He said hesitantly: "But... it's not good to bother the saint with such a trivial matter. Let's go!" Li Laosan enlightened Li Kanshan: "Oh, how long has it been, and you still can't let go of that old face! There is no other better way. Now that the mountain god has sent a blessing, as usual As a rule, we will have to tell you something soon. If we don’t solve this matter early and let Grandpa Shan Shen see it, won’t it cause trouble for him? It will also show that we are incompetent!”
Li Kanshan struggled for a moment, opened his mouth several times, and finally said: "Okay, just do as you say, I will call a girl to invite the saint."
"Okay, then Isn’t it Shuan Zhu’s mother?” As he spoke, Li Laosan said loudly, “Shuan Zhu’s mother, come here and help me!” People talked about the coal carvings and quickly found Chen Shishi who was still in the house.
Chen Shishi had also been disturbed by the noise outside. She lay on the window sill and looked at the big and towering black mountain with interest.
The window of her room happens to be facing this way, which saves the time of going downstairs to watch the excitement.
Similarly, Chen Shishi saw the quarreling of the little people. Although Chen Shishi could not hear the content of their words due to the distance, as an oiran from a music studio, she was good at observing words and emotions. Basic skills, so just by looking at the changes in their expressions, Chen Shishi could tell that they were taunting each other and quarreling!
"Oh, why is it like this again!" Chen Shishi muttered, looking a little frustrated.
Xu Bo'an spoke at the right time and asked: "Chen Shishi, what's going on with those people? I heard that they had a quarrel before, but you stopped them."
Chen Shishi bowed slightly. , made a greeting gesture of blessing, then moved his teeth slightly, and said softly: "It's not a big deal to go back to Grandpa Mountain God. Last night, because of the order of priority when taking the magic weapon train that you gave me, everyone The guys started to quarrel. Later they started talking about all kinds of things about corn and sesame seeds. The quarrel was very violent.
Later, several brothers from the city gate happened to come to receive the food. A little brother said something casually out of good intentions, but someone pointed out that he had evil intentions in the past and was subdued by the mountain god. What qualifications did he have to point fingers here?
Later, I saw that the situation was really uncontrollable, so I went over to persuade the three parties. Everyone was reasonable and gave me this face. The matter was over. Who knew they would do it again today... sigh , the little girl didn’t know what to do. "
Xu Bo'an frowned slightly. Although Chen Shishi said it very simply and there seemed to be no turbulent scenes, Xu Bo'an knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.
The previous quarrel between the three parties was far different from the two parties. , maybe they have already taken action!
"How did you persuade them at that time? Those people are more likely to listen to advice? "Xu Bo'an asked.
"Actually, it's nothing. I just casually talked about some truths and stories I heard in the past, and then told them that a gentleman does not care about his heart when he talks about his deeds. people. It's not easy for the little brothers guarding the city wall. They should all be more understanding and tolerant. "Chen Shishi said softly and slowly.
Hearing these words, Xu Boyan nodded with satisfaction at first, agreeing with it, and then Xu Boyan's heart skipped a beat, and his face changed, as if he suddenly thought of What.
Yes, he suddenly found another trace of the real world in the bonsai world.
Xu Boan suddenly remembered that when he put the coal sculpture in, it seemed to be vague. I heard this sentence accidentally, but my attention was on the coal sculpture at that time. There were too many noisy comments by the little people in the bonsai, and Xu Boan didn't hear it clearly, so he didn't take it seriously
At this moment, hearing Chen Pingping speak word by word, Xu Bo'an's attention was attracted.
"A gentleman does not care about his heart when it comes to his deeds. There is no perfect person in the world! "Xu Boxin hummed softly.
This sentence is no problem, Xu Boan also likes it.
But the problem is, this sentence shouldn't appear here, shouldn't it appear in Chen Pingping's mouth, right?
Xu Boan thought carefully. Although she had thought of this sentence before, she had never mentioned it to Chen Pingping, so she definitely did not hear this sentence from herself.
Then the problem comes.
This sentence comes from the book "Night Talk Around the Firehouse" written by Wang Yongbin during the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
This is also one of the two easy-to-understand classic chicken soup books that Xu Bo'an loves to read. The other is called "Zengguang Xianwen". After reading it, Xu Bo'an felt a sense of enlightenment.
Furthermore, "Night Talk around the Fireplace" has a great reputation. It is also known as "The Three Wonderful Books of Life" together with "Cai Gen Tan" and "Xiaochuang Youji". It is a collection of aphorisms that speak great truths.
In general, it takes "settling down and establishing a career" as the general topic, and then writes various articles for you to listen to from ten aspects such as human morality, self-cultivation, reading, educating children, loyalty, filial piety, diligence and thrift. The profound meaning of consent.
Even speaking more broadly, the influence of this book is so great that even 80-year-olds and children in compulsory education can all say one or two sentences, even if it is not the original text, it is the general meaning. .
Even some of the words they didn’t know were from this book, but they were still catchy.
For example: "Sit quietly and think about your own mistakes, and don't talk about others' faults in small talk."
Another example: "If I am not hungry and cold, my parents are worthy of me; if I am not making progress, how can I treat my parents. If I are not hungry and cold, the sky has not tasted Return to me; I have no progress in learning, how can I face the sky!"
Another example: "When the flowers have fallen, people are old, and spring is no longer there, where is the way back?"
All this. All of these are common sentences used in QQ space, school network and other social friend circles of classmates during school days.
The reason why Xu Boan knows so well is because he did the same thing in the beginning.
Xu Boan asked softly: "Chen Shishi, your sentence 'A gentleman does not care about his heart when it comes to his deeds, and there is no perfect person in the world' Well-deserved!"
Chen Shishi blushed and said sheepishly: "Grandpa Shan Shen has given me the award. How can a little girl have such ability? This is not what the little girl came up with by herself. This is a rumor. It’s been a long time, and Shishi thought it was the right time to use it, so she told everyone.”
Of course Xu Bo’an knew that this sentence was not original to Chen Shishi, but he was still a little dumbfounded when he heard such a conclusion. .
Xu Bo'an was stunned and said: "Oh? It has been circulated for a long time, so you don't know who said it first?"
Chen Shishi shook her head slightly and said: " I don’t know. When Shishi first heard this sentence, she was shocked. She searched around for a long time but could not find the source. Later, she stopped looking for it seriously. Occasionally I would ask about young talents when I met them, but after so many years, there was no result.”
Xu Boan asked again: "Do you know the approximate time it has been circulating? How many years has it been?"
Chen Shishi shook her head, and just as she was about to speak, she heard a cry from outside: "Come quickly, someone. The killing is coming!”
Both Xu Boan and Chen Shishi’s expressions froze, and then changed drastically.
