Chapter 8 Making Friends
"Chen Mo?" Taishi Ci sat casually on a piece of bluestone, chewed a grass root in his mouth, and turned to look at Chen Mo: "At your age, your archery skills are not bad at this level. You are willing to worship me as your teacher."
?”
"??"
Chen Mo looked at Tai Shi Ci blankly, with a smile on his face, a little embarrassed: "I already have a master."
He declined tactfully. Chen Mo was willing to become an apprentice in learning, but as for archery and martial arts... Chen Mo felt that there were system gods, and those taught in the dream training camp might not be worse than others. Finding a teacher would be a waste of time. Besides, this Taishi
Ci was not much older than him, so he called him his master... Chen Mo couldn't say it out loud. He admitted that Taishi Ci's archery skills were better than his own, but he was also several years older than him. If a few years passed, maybe he would be better.
The other party is not as good as yourself.
"Hey~Brother Chen is a disciple of Mr. Zang Hong and Zang Ziyuan. He is a famous man in the world. Even if you meet me, you must pay three respects. You are not much older than us. You only know how to do archery. How can you compete with Ziyuan?"
Master's disciple?" Tang Yuan on the side heard this and said with a disdainful smile.
"Zang Hong..." Tai Shi Ci looked at Chen Mo: "Dang Benefit County Magistrate, but this time Mr. Ziyuan is the one who made a plan to force the Yellow Turban bandits to retreat?"
"Exactly." Chen Mo nodded when he heard this.
Taishi Ci stood in awe after hearing this, clasped his fists at Chen Mo and said, "It turns out that I am Mr. Ziyuan's disciple. I'm sorry."
"There is no need for this. Brother Taishi's archery skills are indeed much better than mine. However, if you continue to become a disciple for no reason, although my master is generous, such a thing may be unreasonable. I understand Brother Taishi's kindness." Chen Mo shook his head and smiled.
"But at your age, it is really extraordinary that you have such archery skills. If you are willing to work hard, you will achieve great results in the future." Tai Shici said seriously.
Although Confucianism also states that the gentleman has six arts, and archery is one of them, in Tai Shici's opinion, most of them are just rough masters, and there are very few like Chen Mo, which shows that this young man has talent, and he really can't bear to let Chen Mo bury this talent.
"What Brother Taishi said is absolutely true." Chen Mo nodded, not wanting to continue this topic, and asked instead: "The surname Taishi is not common. As far as I know, Taishi is the name of an official in the Western Zhou Dynasty, and his descendants take the official surname as their surname. In addition, there are
It is said that the surname comes from Hu Yucai, the grandson of King Wen of Zhou Dynasty, also known as Cai Zhong. His descendants also took Taishi as their surname. I don’t know who Taishi’s brother is..."
"I don't know this. It's just that my ancestors did serve as officials in the Qin Dynasty. They were also prominent during the reign of Emperor Wu. It's a pity that it has been passed down to Ci's generation and has declined." At the end, Taishi Ci was also a little helpless. His family wanted to
It is said that he is qualified to be called an aristocratic family, but it is a pity that now he only works as an official and works in the county. Although his family is considered wealthy, he can only be regarded as a gentry rather than a noble family.
"That is also the queen of a famous family." Chen Mo said with a smile: "Things in this world are unpredictable. Even if you are in decline now, I think Brother Taishi will become a great person in the future!"
In the eyes of others, this is Chen Mo's compliment or polite words, but in Chen Mo's eyes, Taishi Ci's destiny is 78, his luck is 25, which is above the destiny. He is not worse than his own teacher, but his luck is not enough. Such a person
, as long as there is a chance, there will be a bright future.
"Then I'll lend you your good words." Taishi Ci smiled and said, he is a small official in the county. Although he sometimes wants to make contributions, he can't see any hope of a big future? In this big man, if no one recommends him,
No matter how great your ability is, it is difficult to get ahead.
"By the way, does Brother Taishi have any opinion on this matter?" Chen Mo pointed at Zhuangzi and asked.
"It should not have been done by thieves or yellow turban thieves. I checked everywhere when I came here. The gate of the village was not broken open by external force, and the fierce fighting was also in the village and not around the wall. Judging from the clothes of the corpses in the village,
We haven't found any yellow turban thieves or thieves' costumes. It should be done by one of our own or an acquaintance." Taishi Ci frowned and thought after hearing this.
"If they are acquaintances, then I'm afraid they are seeking revenge." Chen Mo sighed, shook his head and said, "How much hatred is needed to kill everyone in this village?"
"You are such a child, why do you think you are talking to a young man?" Tai Shici turned his head and looked at Chen Mo strangely.
"Then what should I do?" Chen Mo asked in shock.
Taishi Ci did not speak, but pointed behind him.
Chen Mo turned around and saw Tang Yuan looking at Chen Mo helplessly. Farther away, Xue Yu and another ten-year-old boy were holding each other's arms and crying. Some of the others were holding their knees in a daze, while others were in a daze.
Silently sobbing, this safari can no longer go on. In such a childish state, I am afraid I have no intention of continuing on the safari.
"My home in Xia Qiu was destroyed by those yellow scarf thieves. My mother and I were taken away to attack Quyang. We had nothing to eat. Some people ate people on the road. Some people exchanged their children for food. Some ate soil and chewed tree bark. Anyway,
Everything you can see is eaten by people." Chen Mo did not answer, but looked into the distance and said leisurely: "Someone on the road tried to drag my mother away, but I killed him, and there was someone who wanted to snatch my dog, but I also killed him.
Well... Anyway, I have experienced a lot, and after I came out, I did feel that I was different from them."
Taishi Ci and Tang Yuan on the side were a little dazed when they heard this. Tang Yuan knew that Chen Mo had been forced to become a thief, but he didn't know the process. Now he heard Chen Mo say this for the first time, and he was a little shocked. A child who was one year younger than him
Tong has experienced so many tragic things in the world.
"No wonder Brother Chen didn't change his expression at all when he entered the village." Tang Yuan sighed sincerely: "It seems that adversity is necessary to sharpen one's character. When I returned home this time, I explained to my father that I would personally blend in with the yellow turban thieves and sharpen my temper.
I am just like Brother Chen!"
Chen Mo and Tai Shici looked back at Tang Yuan with strange expressions. Their eyes seemed a bit like the way their mother looked at them, but the two men looked at them with such eyes, which made Tang Yuan's scalp feel numb.
Taishi Ci shook his head. After all, he had no friendship with him, and he was somewhat familiar with him now, so it was not easy to stab him.
"I wish you peace!" Chen Mo reached out and patted Tang Yuan on the shoulder.
"Brother Chen, don't worry. You were able to come out with your aunt, so I'm sure there will be no problem!" Tang Yuan said proudly.
"No, Brother Tang, please don't misunderstand me. I mean..." Chen Mo looked at Tang Yuan, thought for a moment and said, "Uncle... be very careful."
"My father?" Tang Yuan looked at Chen Mo blankly, what does this have to do with his father?
"Well, go back and talk carefully. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you for a while." Chen Mo nodded.
Tang Yuan nodded and said: "Brother Chen, don't worry, when I come back from hard work, you and I will go to Luoyang to be that young boy!"
