Omniscient and Almighty

Chapter 778
The barbeque on the other side of Tankou was probably the only place that was still active at night in this area. Except for some scattered lanterns, the street has basically fallen into silence.

The two of Xu Guangling also returned to the Sanjiang Inn alone.

Accompanied by the shopkeeper himself, the two entered Datong shop, and then the shopkeeper said to an eight or nine-year-old little luotou next to the shop, "San'er, I haven't seen the two adults yet!"

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the shopkeeper left, leaving the three alone.

The shop in the ten-person room was full of people at this time, some were asleep with their heads covered, and some were silently arranging their luggage. They didn't seem to know each other, and they didn't talk to each other.

"Master, are you all monks?" Na San'er asked.

Xu Tonghui stared and wanted to reprimand him, but Xu Guangling smiled first and said, "That's right."

"Master, do you think I can be a monk too?" The eyes of the third child flashed, it was a very pure child's yearning for the magical world.

"Hehe, it's not easy to be a monk. Being a monk is very hard."

"Master, I'm not afraid of hardships, I'm the one who can endure hardships the most."

"Ha, this kind of suffering is different, most people can't bear it." Xu Guangling said, stretching out his fingers to draw on the ground casually, three times and two times, and a figure came out.

Xu Tonghui fixed his eyes and found that it was... the shape of a flower?
Then he inexplicably felt that the shape was a bit familiar, and after a moment of concentration, he finally recognized it, it was exactly that flower!The flower blooming at the door of the yurt!

After the young master's finger was put down, it never left the ground, turned, turned, kept turning, and then turned out this flower.

"Look, if you close your eyes, can you draw this figure in your mind?" Xu Guangling withdrew his hand and said to Na San'er.

Xu Tonghui closed his eyes and thought about it in his head.

you can!

But it doesn't seem easy!
And when he opened his eyes, he saw that the child named San'er was closing his eyes, and then his face was... well, twitching, and it was very painful. It should have been tried more than once, and then, he finally gave up and opened his eyes. In the eyes.

There was a deep sense of loss on his face, "Master, I can't do it..."

"It's nothing. It's normal if you can't do it. At least nine out of ten people can't do it. So, it's hard to be a monk. It's not something you can do if you want to." Xu Guangling said softly.

San'er nodded sharply.

While they were talking, or in other words, since Xu Guangling and the two of them were escorted in by the owner, the people in the Datong shop who were still awake secretly looked at them.

(secret observation)
Don't dare to disturb, but seems to be quite curious about their performance.

Before that, after Xu Guangling drew the figure and said those words, several eyes from left and right sneaked over, and some stretched their necks.

At this time, a big man in his 40s suddenly whispered on his floor: "It's not difficult, it's very simple!"

San'er turned his gaze.

Xu Tonghui turned his gaze.

And in this Datong shop, several people turned their eyes.

The meaning in each person's eyes is different, but they didn't speak for a while, as if they were performing a pantomime.

Then, the big man couldn't help himself, he came to Xu Guangling's side of the table, squatted on the side with his legs bent, and without saying a word, closed his eyes, stretched out his hand and drew an identical figure on the ground.

After opening his eyes, he tried his best to calm down but couldn't help but asked in a trembling voice: "Master, do you think I can practice?"

"Uncle, how can you practice at this age!" San'er yelled from the side, "Only children can practice!"

Then he straightened his neck and said confidently: "That's what it says in the stories!"

"Is the opportunity to practice hard?" Xu Guangling asked Xu Tonghui with his head turned.

"Master, ordinary people don't have the opportunity." Xu Tonghui said, "Not everyone has the opportunity to practice, even if they are from a family.

Xu Guangling nodded slightly.

In the Datong shop, except for one person who was sound asleep, everyone's ears were pricked up.

Even a person lying on the bunk and pretending to sleep moved quietly.

After answering Xu Guangling's words, Xu Tonghui stretched out his hand and patted the squatting man's shoulder with a good temper, "Dude, you are pretty good, but what the kid said just now is right, you have passed the age of cultivation, now even if you have It's too late for people to teach you, much later."

The big man's head hung down, and the restless look in his eyes dimmed all of a sudden.

But he seemed to still retain the last bit of hope, and he was still looking at Xu Guangling stubbornly, as if waiting for his answer.

"Go back, go back to your bunk!" Xu Tonghui said.

The big man turned around, bowed to Xu Tonghui, then turned to Xu Guangling, bowed down and couldn't get up.

It seems that the young man's words are the final verdict for him.

And the ruling came soon, "Brother, you are indeed very old."

In a word, the gloomy look in the big man's eyes completely disappeared.

"Brother, what do you do?" Xu Guangling asked.

Hearing this question, the burly man suddenly raised his head again, "Master, I'm just looking for something to do on the pier over there!"

"Working at the pier, can I live in a hotel? Can I afford a hotel?" Xu Tonghui asked.

He saw that the young master seemed to be a little interested in this big man, although he didn't know where the interest came from, but he started to question him normally.

"As for my lord, although I also do coolies, I can settle accounts, and I am a accountant!" The big man said, his expression was still disappointed, but there was a kind of hidden pride in his words.

"Have you ever read? Can you do math?" Xu Guangling asked.

"Young Master, I have never read or learned to count, but I know how to do it!" The big man said, his expression both broken and revived.

The collapse was probably due to illiteracy and learning to count.

Zhen probably is under such circumstances, can he still settle accounts?
"Oh? Then I'll test you."

"A hunter went up the mountain to hunt. He hunted some pheasants and hares. The number of heads was 35, and the total number was 94. How many pheasants and hares did he hunt in total?"

This is a question in the original "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics", Xu Guangling didn't even change the numbers.

x+y=35
4x+2y=94
For elementary school students in previous lives, this is a very simple question.

But if you haven't studied arithmetic at all, you can only rely on stupid methods to make hard numbers. ——The number is not big, but it can still be counted.

The arrangement of numbers in "Sun Tzu's Mathematical Classics" can actually be said to have profound meanings. It is not too small so that people can know it at a glance, and it is not too big so that people who don't know it can't figure it out at all.

Judging from the big man's previous ability to remember and recover, this is not difficult for him at all.

After hearing this question, Xu Tonghui and the big man closed their eyes at the same time.

And San'er also closed his eyes, still muttering softly.

It wasn't just these three people, there seemed to be a silent commotion in the whole Datong shop.

After about three breaths, San'er was still muttering, and Xu Tonghui and the big man opened their eyes again almost at the same time.

"Young Master, I calculated it. There are 23 pheasants and [-] hares." The big man said.
