"Did you see what I was doing just now?" Lin Zeng asked, gesturing his hand to the branch below. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Hongzai hesitated, rubbed his eyes with his fingers as thin as chicken feet, and nodded a little carelessly.

"I'm Lin Zeng, you can call me Brother Lin, are you willing to help me do something?" Lin Zeng also put a wooden hammer in his backpack. He took out a wooden hammer and demonstratively struck it on the trunk of the banyan tree, "just like this, striking at the symbols I had drawn on the trunk, and beating it constantly." ”

Hongzai twisted his face, and after listening to what Lin Zeng said with great difficulty, the muscles on his face relaxed slightly. His thin fingers played with the bag of small cakes, glancing at Lin Zeng from time to time, but did not answer his question.

Lin Zeng sighed in his heart, in fact, this poor young man has very good facial features, especially his eyes, on his thin face, a pair of eyes are round and big. If you grew up in a normal family, you should be a tall and beautiful boy by now.

Lin had waited for Hongzai's answer for a while, and secretly decided to help him as much as possible so that he could live a normal life. A fourteen-year-old should not live like a beast on a banyan tree in a park.

He should be exposed to a more exciting world.

It took a long time for the red boy to finally think about it, he knocked the trunk of the tree next to him with his fist, and said hard: "Money, money, I want it, I want money." ”

"Yes. Lin Zeng nodded, "How much do you want?"

"One, ten, ten, ten, ten dollars. He seemed to think that ten yuan was a lot, and he was embarrassed to say it, and stuck on the word "ten" for a while.

Lin Zeng couldn't help but smile and shook his head, sure enough, he was still a child.

Hongzai thought that Lin Zeng disliked his asking price too expensive, so he got up, crossed his fingers, and gave in and said, "Eight yuan!"

"The tapping is tedious, you have to keep hitting until the pattern on the bark is completely gone. You also know that the gaps in the branches of the banyan tree are very large, and they will definitely be discovered during the day, and you can only do this work late at night. ”

Lin Zeng explained to him, but he didn't expect it to cause Hongzai's impatience, he waved his arm, "Seven pieces." ”

"A hundred. Lin Zeng reluctantly told him his salary, if he really hired him according to the price of the red boy, his conscience would not be able to get over that hurdle.

When Hongzai heard Lin Zeng's number, he was stunned suddenly, and it took a long time before he came back to his senses. After coming back to his senses, he jumped up excitedly, and groped on the ground again, and out of nowhere, found a red 100 yuan bill.

"Ahhh

"Yes, you knock a symbol and disappear, and I'll give you one. The whole tree, there are about thirty symbols. Lin Zeng said with a smile.

Hongzai didn't study mathematics, he frowned, thought about it for a long time, and didn't think that thirty symbols were how many red tickets.

But he knew that it was a lot, a lot, more than he had ever seen in his life.

Thinking about his reward, Red Boy couldn't wait to run to Lin Zeng's side, snatched the wooden hammer in Lin Zeng's hand, and ran almost half-trotting towards the location of the first base tree rune drawn by Lin Zeng.

Seeing him trotting on a branch that was no more than arm-thick, Lin Zeng was too frightened to make a sound, for fear that if he was not careful, his foot would slip and fall.

When he squatted down at the node where he had already drawn the base tree rune, Lin Zeng said helplessly: "Red boy, you have to pay attention to safety. ”

He was responded to by a series of rapid snapping sounds.

"Slow down, lighten the power. Lin Zeng put on his backpack and moved to the red boy again. This time, the young man didn't have the kung fu to laugh at Lin Zeng's performance, his mind was all focused on the base tree rune on the bark, and he wanted to break this branch immediately.

Lin Zeng stood firm and began to teach him what rhythm and force to use to hit the rune pattern.

Although Hongzai did not enter the school system and seemed to have some problems with the development of language ability and comprehension, after Lin Zeng's demonstration, he quickly mastered the technique of beating, and he was not clumsy at all.

The red boy lay on the branch intently, tapping the bark one by one. The regular rhythm sounds quite good. Lin Zeng looked at him for a while and felt that there was nothing wrong with him, so he left his side, went to the second node, and began to draw the base tree runes.

Although he asked the red boy to help, he was suspected of employing child labor. But his unexpected appearance relieved him from the tedious work of building a foundation tree.

It may take tens of thousands of hits to complete a successful base tree node that can be exploited, and to make the base tree runes work perfectly.

Lin Zeng was already ready to soak in this tree for the next two months.

However, the appearance of Red Boy freed him from this mechanical work like a stonemason.

Lin Zeng only needs to draw the base tree runes, and the rest of the work will be handed over to the red boy who is as flexible as an ordinary monkey on the tree.

After drawing the three base tree runes, I looked at the time, and it was already three o'clock in the middle of the night.

On the tree, the sound of the red boy's wooden hammer continued stubbornly. Lin Zeng slapped his head and blamed himself for being careless.

Hongzai is only a fourteen-year-old child, and not sleeping in the middle of the night will affect his physical development.

"Red boy," Lin Zeng returned to where Red Boy was, and saw the base tree pattern of the black marker strokes, turning into light silver gray, indicating that the workload of this node has been half completed, "You go to rest, don't work so late at night in the future." ”

"No, no, no. Red boy shook his head stubbornly, his hair was cut by someone who didn't know who trimmed it, it was very short, but it was uneven.

"If you're too late, I'll deduct your wages. Lin Zeng's eyes narrowed and he said threateningly.

Hongzai's eyes widened suddenly, and he was reluctant to look at the wooden hammer in his hand before he stopped.

"Go to sleep. I'll bring you something delicious tomorrow. Lin Zeng reached out and patted his shoulder, which barely had much flesh, and said with a smile.

Hongzai subconsciously wanted to avoid it, twisted his shoulder, but did not dodge it again. He blinked wide-eyed, looked at Lin Zeng with some confusion, and then nodded.

Lin Zeng found a thick tree trunk and took out a twenty-meter hiking rope from his backpack. It is fastened to the trunk of the tree with a very strong technique.

This rope is how he went to a professional outdoor store to buy and knot the rope, and he also carefully consulted the shopkeeper who is a rock climbing enthusiast himself.

With this rope, Lin Zeng doesn't have to climb the trunk of the tree every time, just drag the rope to climb up, and the safety is guaranteed.

"Red boy, then I'll go, after I go down, you pull up the rope, don't untie this end, just hide it in the tree." Tomorrow night, I'll bang on the railing to give you a signal, and you put the rope down. ”

Probably because he rarely communicates with people, Hongzai not only stutters, but also responds slowly to other people's speaking information, Lin Zeng repeated this sentence three times before he said he understood everything.

Stammered and repeated Lin Zeng's request, and Lin Zeng waved goodbye to him. He tied the rope around his waist, climbed the trunk of the tree, and fell to the ground.

With the help of ropes, he was able to get down the tree much faster.

Landing smoothly on the ground and untying the rope, Lin Zeng shouted to the tree: "Red boy, I'm leaving." ”

The rope was pulled up slowly, Lin Zeng smiled at ease, and left the lake park along the same path. (To be continued.) )
