Chapter 30 Tang Lao's Changes(1/2)
As Liang Yi and others approached, slowly, people in the village also discovered these guys who could be identified as outsiders at a glance.
It was already approaching dusk. After getting closer, Liang Yi discovered that there were many old men who looked very strong and shirtless walking in the fields along the edge of the dirt road towards the village.
Each of these old men has strong muscles, and the tough muscle lines are not the exaggerated-looking inflatable muscles trained in modern gyms, but hard muscles with curves like armor.
The amazing pectoralis major muscles were dripping with sweat, and the tanned and shiny skin actually had a metallic sheen under the sun.
Liang Yi swallowed.
No, he is not obsessed with this old man from the village.
He was just surprised, or rather shocked, that the old man here had such a physique.
In fact, it wasn't like he had never seen an old man with such a figure before.
During the years when he was the Minister of Household Affairs, he also traveled to the north and south of the Chu Kingdom.
I have seen all kinds of customs and customs in the land of Chu.
In the southern region, because of abundant food and good weather, some villages with large grain producers can be said to be very prosperous because of their abundant food.
In those villages, everyone had enough food and slept well.
They go to work in the fields as soon as they wake up every day, and some go to various places to work, either using sledgehammers to knock wood piles, or carrying logs to build beams.
This kind of work is, in a sense, much stronger than the so-called core exercise methods in modern gyms.
This is done every day, working as the sun rises and resting as the sun sets. Over time, many people will basically have such a strong body.
To them, their bodies at this time are simply like a well-oiled Land Rover. They can carry logs with a diameter of 30 centimeters at will. When laying foundations and hammering piles, the hammer swings like a windmill.
Same.
However, he could only see such people in some wealthy counties or villages before.
And here, Liu'anzhuang, when the newspaper from the county seat came here, it was just an ordinary village.
In the Di Bao, there is no such large-scale wheat field cultivation.
There is no doubt that these must be the teacher's handwritings!
Obviously the teacher doesn't want outsiders to know the information here.
This made Liang Yi a little confused.
In his opinion, since the teacher can grow this kind of grain, he should report it to the court. Moreover, if the harvest of such a large wheat field is calculated as 80%, he will not have to cause such trouble in Kyoto at that time.
But he also knew that after understanding the teacher's good intentions, he realized the profoundness of the teacher's intentions and the power of his decision. When he found that he didn't quite understand, he only thought that this should be the teacher's plan, but it was
I just can't keep up with the teacher's thinking.
As a result, Liang Yi wanted to find the teacher as soon as possible.
Along the way, he already had too many doubts.
He was about to ask these strong old men, but he didn't expect that after these old men carried hoes and shovels on the dirt road, a group of people circled around Liang Yi and suddenly spoke.
"Hey, is your name Liang Yi, Liang Siyuan?"
Siyuan is Liang Yi's cousin, given by Mr. Tang. It is taken from a sentence in Liang Guo's Ten Strategies, "Wen Xue".
"Think carefully and think far ahead"
The implication is that the path to study requires careful thinking and long-term considerations.
Hearing that these farm men could actually call out their cousins, Liang Yi's body, which was about to join hands and bow, froze, and the expression on his face was very wonderful.
"Haha, it looks like it is. After all, he is Old Tang's apprentice. It just looks like..."
After seeing Liang Yi's unnatural expression, these uncles immediately knew that they knew the right person.
One of the uncles put down the hoe on his shoulder. The moment it landed, a few drops of sweat fell from his chest muscles. He smiled heartily and said with admiration in his eyes when he looked at Liang Yi's appearance.
He seemed to want to use a word to praise Liang Yi, but after thinking for a long time, nothing came to mind.
An old brother next to him who went to the fields with him patted him on the shoulder and said jokingly.
"Liu Laosan, please stop being rude. That's Lao Tang's skill. As long as you're so stupid, don't embarrass yourself here, hahaha."
Following his joke, the villagers nearby burst into laughter. The hearty and contagious laughter made Liang Yi feel embarrassed, and a smile appeared on his lips.
"Hey, forget it, I won't pretend anymore, Liang Yi, let's go. Old Tang told us that some people will come to the village recently. He has already agreed, saying that they are his apprentices, and also said
You look...you look...oh, I can't remember, anyway, I just said you are pretty, like a scholar, and I said I would recognize you as soon as I see you."
After Liu Laosan stopped laughing, he said to Liang Yi.
"The ones behind you are your mother-in-law and baby, right? Come on, let's go, I'll take you to find Old Tang!"
As he said this, Liu Laosan and the others turned around one after another, carrying the farm tools and walking in one direction.
When Liang Yi saw this, he naturally asked his wife and children to get on the carriage first, and then he walked and asked a few servants to lead the carriage to follow.
The reason why the wife and children were allowed to board the car was because they were family members, and normally they were not suitable to be seen outside.
After Liang Yi quickly followed, he followed the spacious dirt road and arrived in front of a courtyard.
This is a big yard.
However, this courtyard was built very roughly. The courtyard walls were made of large stones, and the gates and courtyards were all made of logs.
There are no tiles, no fine carvings, and no literary and artistic atmosphere.
Those solid stones and trees built up the courtyard, which makes it look a bit like a cottage.
And those strong old men added to this sense of déjà vu.
Liang Yi felt that at this time, the old man would suddenly shout "Master".
Then his legs would probably be weak from fear.
Teacher...you...
At this moment, Liang Yi just wanted to know what his master had done in the past few years. Everything he encountered along the way was constantly impacting his three views.
The figure in my memory of the tall scholar who looked thin but kind, and who was dressed in a blue shirt and showed his scholarly character, was already a bit blurry at this time.
Fortunately, these old men did not call out to the boss. They regarded this yard as their own home, stepped in the mud and walked in, shouting as they entered.
"Old Tang! Old Tang! Your apprentice is here to see you!!!"
Liang Yi, who was behind him, saw them entering. He first opened the car curtain and took his wife and children out of the car. Then, after secretly exhorting his wife a few words, his wife nodded, and he straightened his clothes and then
After asking his wife to help him smooth out his collar and crown, he took a deep breath, swung his hands to open the cuffs, then closed them again, folded his hands and raised them up to the level of his eyebrows, then lowered his head slightly and stepped forward.
Walk towards the courtyard.
Liang Yi led his disciples respectfully all the way into the courtyard, walked around the screen wall in front of the courtyard, and formally entered the courtyard.
As soon as he entered the courtyard, Liang Yi discovered that the small courtyard was full of lush greenery.
This small courtyard is like a small wheat field. The area of this courtyard is about 14 to 5 centimeters. When converted into modern units, it is close to 80 square meters.
Such a large courtyard is divided into four parts.
A cross stone road in the middle divides the yard into four wheat fields.
Crops are planted on the four wheat fields.
Each wheat field is grown differently.
Liang Yi even saw that there should be a shed on top of some wheat fields.
One wheat field is full of water, and the rice on it seems to be grown in the south; the soil in another wheat field is yellow, and the soil in another wheat field is black.
The soil of the wheat field covered with the shed is yellow, but there seems to be some unknown white ash sprinkled on the soil, which looks quite strange.
There are two large sheds on both sides at the front end of the yard. They are so tightly covered that I don’t know what they are doing.
After stepping into this courtyard, he seemed to have walked into a farmland. For a moment, his formal and persistent disciple etiquette looked like a scarecrow.
Just when he was a little stunned, suddenly a door opened in the side room in the yard ahead, and the old men filed out of it.
And Liang Yi saw a familiar face hidden behind them at a glance.
That face was so familiar that Liang Yi felt a sore nose as soon as he saw this familiar face. Suddenly, all the suffering he had suffered in Kyoto turned into grievances at this moment.
He looked at that face as if he were seeing his own father. He felt extremely excited and at the same time had countless grievances and longings that he wanted to pour out.
He could only see the teacher's face, then he ignored the narrow and uneven stone path on the ground and knelt down on the stone path with both legs. He raised his hands in front of him and bowed down. He knocked his forehead to the ground, unable to bow down.
Shouting from the mouth.
"Unworthy disciple Liang Siyuan, please meet your mentor!"
His tone was passionate, like a gun.
Just a few breaths after he prostrated himself, he heard rapid footsteps approaching, and then felt his arm being grabbed from underneath by a pair of big hands.
Immediately, an irresistible force came from the big hand and "pulled" him up from the ground.
It really pulled it up.
He even stretched out his feet to rest on them.
