At the end of the deep gorge, there is a simple courtyard with two independent wooden houses.
In front of the wooden house leaning to the east, Ye Guhong and Liu Yi were locked out.
Liu Yi knocked on the door and shouted: "Uncle, please come out and take a look!"
A voice that sounded as shrill as a mouse came from inside the door: "Yi'er, you don't know, I've stopped practicing medicine long ago. I've been suffering from bone stitches all day long. It's so boring that I'm going to have bird poop. Hey, where can I?"
It’s fun to have what I’m playing now.”
"But uncle, are you going to die without saving me?"
A strange cry came from inside the door: "Isn't it just that someone has broken his hand tendon? He can't die. How can you say that I won't save you, little girl?"
Liu Yi stuck out her tongue helplessly and said softly to Ye Guhong: "I just slipped my words at the moment."
Ye Guhong also smiled helplessly: "Forget it, since they don't want to deal with it, it's useless for us to beg."
At this time, a sound of cooking suddenly came from the wooden house on the north side, and an attractive fragrance hit him at the same time.
Liu Yi took Ye Guhong's arm and walked towards the wooden house on the north side: "Here, I'll treat you to something good to make up for it."
When she also came to the door, Liu Yi knocked on the door and shouted: "Mother, Yi'er is here to eat again."
The door opened very quickly this time, and an old woman with gray hair and a kind face walked out of it. She was wearing an apron around her waist. Looking at her wrinkled face, she was at least in her seventies.
Liu Yi introduced Ye Guhong: "This is my aunt, you call her Grandma Jin." After that, she briefly introduced Ye Guhong.
Ye Guhong bowed slightly and called Grandma Jin respectfully as a gift.
Jin's eyes kept rolling on the faces of Liu Yi and Ye Guhong, and he suddenly smiled and said: "Hey, why do you call yourself aunt and the other grandma when you go out to work? Isn't it because you won't be able to explain it after you are junior?
It sounds awkward to me, haha, it’s fine if we all call her aunt.”
These words were very suggestive. The naive Liu Yi didn't think anything of it, but Ye Guhong heard the smell inside and felt a wry smile in his heart.
"Come in quickly, the food is almost ready. I wonder if Aunt Chang's cooking skills are good?"
Jin greeted him warmly and the two of them sat down.
It was just a simple square table. Jin was so busy that in a short time, five dishes and one soup were placed on the table.
The appearance of these dishes is not very good, but the fragrance is extremely tempting and arouses appetite. Even Ye Guhong, a person who usually doesn't care much about food, has a little saliva in his throat and can't help but want to try it.
Liu Yi picked up a few shredded pork and fed it to Ye Guhong. The shredded meat melted in his mouth. It was tender, smooth, sweet, spicy, sour and numb. The most amazing thing was the combination, which gave people an absolutely balanced feeling.
Adding a little more salt or a little less sugar would ruin the perfect flavor
The other dishes also have their own characteristics, which makes Ye Guhong a little bit unable to stop.
Liu Yi was so busy that she picked up almost ten chopsticks of the dish, nine of which went into Ye Guhong's mouth. She only took an occasional bite to avoid Ye Guhong's embarrassment.
Jin next to her looked at the two of them with a smile on her eyebrows, already thinking about it
Halfway through the meal, Ye Guhong finally couldn't help it and couldn't help but admired: "This is the most delicious thing I've eaten in decades of life."
These decades, including of course the decades on earth
Jin smiled and said: "You little kid is only fifteen or sixteen years old, how can you say that you have lived for decades?"
Ye Guhong smiled awkwardly and continued eating without any explanation.
Jin suddenly sighed slightly: "No matter how well you do it, it's useless, but you still can't bring that old man back."
No need to ask, the old man Jin mentioned is the uncle of Liu Yi who just rejected him thousands of miles away.
Liu Yi asked: "Mother, uncle, what are you doing these days?"
Jin said angrily: "Who knows what the hell he is tinkering with? He writes and draws all day long. It's just wood, soil and water, it's summer, winter and autumn."
As soon as these words came out, it was as if a thunder exploded in Ye Guhong's mind.
He hurriedly asked: "Is he studying the science of arithmetic?"
Jin thought about it for a moment, nodded sharply and said, "Yes, how do you know what the spell is called?"
Ye Guhong didn't have time to answer, so he got up and ran out, towards the east wooden house.
Arriving at the door, Ye Guhong was just about to raise his elbow to knock on the door when he heard a low voice coming from inside: "The five elements in winter are lacking, and the three elements of earth and wood are lacking, and the land is lacking. It's troublesome, it's really troublesome."
As soon as Ye Guhong heard this sentence, he knew that it was an introductory question in mathematics, and said loudly: "Among the four images, winter water rises sharply, wood is cold, and soil is covered with ice. They are all water attributes, and naturally lack
The three phases of earth, wood, and strong water only exist in spring, summer, and autumn, but they come from heaven and naturally lack land."
As soon as I said this, I suddenly heard the sound of chairs and benches shaking from inside the room.
The door creaked open, and an old man with white beard and white hair rushed out.
His face is full of wrinkles and he looks to be eighty years old. His legs and feet are strong and he doesn't look old at all.
After the old man opened the door, he first glanced at Ye Guhong, and then looked outside behind Ye Guhong. He saw that in the yard behind Ye Guhong, there were only his wife and Liu Yi, and he suddenly felt strange.
Ye Guhong blocked his sight and asked, "What are you looking for?"
The old man asked in confusion: "Is that the question you answered just now?"
Ye Guhong nodded and said: "Of course, this is an introductory question on the four images and five elements of magic. It is very simple."
The old man even looked surprised: "You kid, you actually know the magic?"
Ye Guhong suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, and said as Zhu Jiazhen said: "The first yuan has no beginning and no end, which is the ultimate way of heaven; the two rites are positive and negative; the three phases are heaven.
,Shang,Du,Jing,Death,Shock,Open;Nine Palaces,is the Eight Diagrams.With the addition of the word '中',these nine kinds of mathematics are enough for a lifetime of study."
These words made the old man stunned. After a long reaction, the old man grabbed Ye Guhong and took him into the room.
There are diagrams of magic numbers such as the Five Elements and Six Harmonies posted everywhere in the room, and there are also magic number books everywhere on the bed and table.
The old man directly pushed away the messy books on the table, revealing the empty space and took the paper, pen and ink. The old man swiped a little and wrote another math question.
Ye Guhong only glanced at it and answered it casually.
The old man was really convinced by Ye Guhong now. He actually took two steps back, his knees softened, and he knelt on the ground: "You are so good at math, I will worship you as my teacher!"
Ye Guhong was startled and wanted to reach out to help the old man, but he couldn't help him because of the injury on his hand.
The old man just fell to his knees and kowtowed three times in a row.
The ceremony of apprenticeship has been completed
Standing at the door, Jin shook his head and sighed: "This old guy is crazy, crazy!"
Liu Yi found it very fresh and interesting, and kept smiling without saying anything.
After the old man got up, he said to Ye Guhong: "Master, please teach me the skills quickly."
Ye Guhong was covered in goosebumps by the master's call. However, Ye Guhong did not forget about the business. He stretched out the inner wrists of both hands and showed the two scars in front of the old man.
The old man also said simply: "Isn't it just a broken hand tendon? It's easy to handle!"
