Strange World Survival Manual

"Others laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others because they can't see through it.

There are no tombs of heroes from the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers or wine to cultivate the fields. "

Li Si read the last sentence in one breath and took a deep breath. When he recited it just now, he was immersed in the emotion of this poem.

This poem was a poem he had always liked in his previous life. The whole poem portrays a free and easy hermit who loves life.

This is what Li Si has been pursuing all his life, so he knows this "Peach Blossom Temple Song" by heart.

At this time, Chen Zhongyang and He Zhong on the side were shocked and speechless after hearing this poem, although they did not read much.

But I can't bear it. This poem is mostly written in vernacular and is easy to understand. They can also easily understand the artistic conception from this poem.

"This poem...how come I haven't heard of it?" He Zhong murmured in a low voice. He himself was a very chivalrous person, so he naturally had a different feeling about this poem.

It's just that he is a little strange. He has lived for most of his life and has never heard this poem.

Li Si smiled slightly and said: "This poem comes from a broken ancient book. I only know that the author is named Tang Yin, but I don't know anything else."

Hearing what Li Si said, Chen Zhongyang glanced at him with a meaningful look, and then laughed and said: "Good poem, good poem, it should come to light. Just wait for me."

With that he went straight into the house.

When Li Si and He Zhong reacted, they had no time to shout and could only stand there and look at each other.

After a while, Chen Zhongyang walked out of the room, holding several dishes in his left hand and a wine flask in his right hand. After coming out, Chen Zhongyang smiled at Li Si and said: "Come on, let's have a drink. With this poem, how can we not have wine?"

"Brother Chen, we have to hurry today. We can't..." He Zhong spoke first, with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face.

"It's like this. I'm going to Zetian Mansion to take the exam, but since it's Brother Chen who warmly invites me, let's have a drink." Li Si interrupted He Zhong at this time and said with a smile.

He will ask Chen Zhongyang for help later, and it would be bad if it disturbs his interest at this time.

"Going to Zetian Mansion to take the exam?" After Chen Zhongyang stopped talking to each other, there was a strange look on his face, but he immediately returned to normal and said with a smile: "Nothing, I can just stay here for one night at the worst."

Neither Li Si nor He Zhong paid much attention to Chen Zhongyang's expression. After all, most people in this world would show strange emotions when they hear someone rushing to take an exam.

"Come on, come on, sit down, let's have a few drinks." Chen Zhongyang walked to the small table in the courtyard and placed dishes on the table.

Li Si and Li Si also took their seats with a smile.

After the two of them were seated, Chen Zhongyang poured wine into the porcelain bowl with a jug, poured it over and over again and said: "This is the Qingfeng Zui I brought from Zetian Mansion. Only with this wine down your throat can you recall the words in the poem just now." Wonderful flavor.”

At the end, he pointed to the nearby peach grove.

Li Si and He Zhong also looked to the side and saw peach trees. They were stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.

This peach forest and this wine can be considered to have some of the artistic conception in Fang Cai's poem.

Afterwards, several people started drinking in the courtyard. He Zhong was also familiar with Chen Zhongyang, so they chatted about their experiences over the years and couldn't help but sigh.

At the same time, they also chatted with Li Si about some recent events in the city, most of which were things Li Si had done, such as scolding the fox demon out of his true form at Caishikou and the affairs of the Zhang Mansion.

Li Si also explained the matter about the fox demon just like he explained to Zhang Yuanwai. He only said that he did not have the ability, and at the same time, he also said that the matter in Zhang's house was caused by thieves.

He has always known that there are three things to hide in a person's life, and he cannot talk superficially to others.

The two of them believed what Li Si said. After all, they had lived near the county for a long time. As a scholar, Li Si was naturally known to many people. They also knew something about Li Si and felt that he was a scholar. It is impossible to become an expert all of a sudden.

That is to say, only people like Luo Ye and those who had actually seen Li Si come out of Zhang's mansion knew that Mr. Li was really good at subduing demons.

As for other people, when they heard about this incident, they just laughed at it.

Of course, there are also reasons why the government is guiding public opinion.

The conversation lasted for less than half an hour. At this point, Chen Zhongyang suddenly slapped his forehead, shook his head and said with a smile: "Look at my hospitality, why can I only have wine? I'll get you something to eat." "

After saying that, he stood up and walked towards the depths of the peach forest.

When Chen Zhongyang walked away, Li Si asked He Zhong with some confusion: "Why is he the only one in this Taoyuan? Are you busy?"

I had talked about Chen Zhongyang with He Zhong before. He Zhong said that this man had sold his peaches to nearby counties, so there should be someone in the Taoyuan to help, but only Chen Zhongyang was seen here.

When He Zhong heard what Li Si said, he smiled and said, "Actually, he lives alone in the mountains. If the peaches are ripe, he will find someone to pick them."

"How could this be? Isn't he married yet?" Li Si suddenly became curious after hearing what He Zhong said.

"He hasn't gotten married yet, and he has always been alone. All this has to do with his childhood experience." He Zhong looked around and saw that Chen Zhongyang was not nearby, and whispered: "Actually, he was picked up by his parents. .”

When Li Si heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhongyang actually had such a life experience.

"His parents were infertile, and one day they picked up a baby, and it was him."

"After picking him up, his parents regarded him as their own, but everyone nearby knew his life experience and started talking nonsense. This was known by some children, and some children often made fun of him and looked down upon him. Him, isolate him, say he is a child without parents."

"So he became more and more withdrawn and only stayed with his parents. He also developed this withdrawn and weird character."

After saying this, He Zhong paused for a moment, took a sip of wine and said, "It's just that things got better when I got older. My personality gradually changed."

"This is what changed when he and I were hanging out together. At that time, we met more people from all walks of life, so he was naturally much more tactful. But his withdrawn character has not changed. After his parents died, he was like this I have been living here since I got peach."

Li Si was also touched when he heard this. He had also experienced Chen Zhongyang being isolated by other children when he was a child. I also know that it doesn't feel very good.

Especially children's personalities are relatively fragile, and it is very easy to distort their personalities when encountering this kind of thing.

After exhaling, Li Si took a sip of wine, shook his head and smiled. Fortunately, Chen Zhongyang had finally walked out.

The conversation was divided into two parts. When Li Si and He Zhong were talking about Chen Zhongyang, Chen Zhongyang had already passed through the peach forest and came to a strange peach tree.

This peach tree is about four to five meters high, but it is completely dark. Its thick branches are like human figures, bare, without flowers, fruits or leaves, which makes it look very abrupt in this lush peach forest.
