Chapter 16 The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings
He Mu stood at the gate of the courtyard, looking at Lin Xiaohan from a distance, he came to explain to her what happened yesterday, for fear that she would misunderstand and even become bored with himself. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info There were a lot of people yesterday, and he couldn't find a chance to talk to her alone. But when he got here, he didn't dare to disturb her.
Xiao Han sat comfortably on the chair, her head leaned back slightly, the cool wind blew the hair on her forehead, the little face bathed in the sun was white and red, the red lips were pursed, her eyes were slightly closed, and her long eyelashes hung a layer of shadow, as if she was about to fall asleep. He Mu was afraid that she would catch a cold, so he approached to wake her up. Suddenly, I heard her whisper something, and then saw a crystal tear slip through the corner of her eye. Hearing the footsteps, she opened her eyes, and the confusion and sadness in her eyes flashed.
He Mu was shocked, and suddenly there was a dull pain somewhere in her heart: what kind of sorrow was precipitated in her heart? Is it because of Tang Yun? No, he immediately denied it. Looking at her attitude towards Tang Yun during this time, she felt very disgusted. What is the reason for that? What is there in her world that I can't touch? At this moment, He Mu felt that she was very far away from him.
"Brother Xiaomu, you're here. She raised her smile and looked at herself quietly, her moist eyes like a new lotus after a rain, and her soft voice was a little nasal.
"Well, Sister Xiaohan, you are basking in the sun. Although there is sunshine, there is still coolness, don't sleep outside, go back to the house when you are sleepy. He Mu persuaded softly.
"I'm not sleepy, basking in the sun and feeling warm. There was no sunlight in the house, and it was even colder, and I was so afraid of the cold. He Mu looked at her thin little body with pity: "It'll be fine in two days, and when my aunt makes you a new quilt and a new cotton coat, you won't be afraid of the cold." β
"Exactly, but my mother got up early to make quilts and clothes for us, and she didn't sleep long. It's a pity that I'm not good at needlework, so I can't help her. Xiao Han smiled embarrassedly.
"All mothers are like this, and so is my mother, her body is just a little better, and in the past two days, she has dismantled and washed my father's previous clothes and made clothes for me again. He Mu's voice was gloomy.
"In a few days, when the spicy cabbage is sold, you can also buy cotton and cloth to make new quilts and new clothes. Xiao Han comforted him.
"yes, thanks to you. Thank you!" He Mu thanked solemnly, Xiao Han smiled and shook his head.
"By the way, I seemed to hear what you were muttering when I came in just now?" He Mu took the opportunity to ask.
Xiao Han smiled, read the poem again, and explained the meaning to him. As he was talking, Lixia and the spring equinox came back, and it turned out that the two of them went to the river to fish in the morning. Spring Equinox happily took the jar to show Xiao Han, and said that he had made a lot of small fish and snails, and he missed the fried snail meat last time. Lixia saw that He Mu was also there, and glared at him, He Mu smiled wryly, and Xiao Han was very strange when he saw it: "What are you two doing with your eyebrows?"
"Nothing!" replied in unison. Xiao Hanhu looked at them suspiciously, and Lixia hurriedly diverted the topic: "What were you talking about just now?"
"Talking about bees. Then he explained to them again, and Lixia was touched.
"I think bees collect honey not only for the bitter and sweet of the little bees, but also for our bitterness and sweetness. "The equinox on the side is amazing. Seeing that everyone looked at him in amazement, he said very proudly: "Once, my brother, Brother Xiaomu and I poked a wild honeycomb on the mountain, and after driving away the bees, we brought back the honey and ate it. β
The children's words made the three of them laugh, and the spring equinox looked at them ignorantly, not knowing what was funny about what he said. Xiao Han said with a smile: "For animals, in fact, we humans are the most hateful, but the law of the animal kingdom is "the weak eat the strong", the weak deserve to be eaten by the strong, don't say anything unfair, who made you born weak." But there is a law in everything, if a certain species is eaten too much and is on the verge of extinction, of course it will not work. But if no other species eats it, let it grow, and sooner or later the species will become extinct. This is how nature maintains the ecological balance."
The three of them didn't understand when they heard it: why they would be extinct if they weren't eaten. Xiao Han thought about it for a while and gave them an example based on his memory:
Legend has it that many years ago, there was a forest that was green and full of life. Birds sing in the branches, and lively and beautiful deer frolic in the woods. But behind the herd, the greedy and ferocious wolves are often followed, always looking for an opportunity to bite the deer to death and eat it. There were about 4,000 deer in the forest at that time, and people had to be on the lookout for wolves. The local population hated the wolves, and they formed hunting parties to hunt wolves in the forest. Among the hunters' bows and arrows, the wolves followed one after the other, wailing and falling in pools of blood. This hunt lasted for twenty-five years, and the number of wolves killed and some other natural enemies of the deer totaled more than 6,000.
Without natural predators, the forest became a kingdom for deer. They gave birth here, and soon the total number of deer exceeded 100,000. However, as the deer population multiplied, a famine broke out in the forest. shrubs, small trees, twigs, bark...... All the greenery that could be eaten was eaten by the hungry deer. The whole forest is on fire, the green is fading, and the yellow is spreading. Then came an even greater catastrophe. Disease wanders like a demon in the herd of deer. In just two winters, 60,000 deer died. After a few more years, all the deer in the forest fell ill and died.
People would never have dreamed that the wolves they hunt are actually the "heroes" of the forest and the deer herd. The wolf eats some of the deer so that the deer herd does not grow too fast and the forest is not spoiled so badly, and at the same time, the wolf eats most of the sick deer, which relieves the threat of infectious diseases to the deer herd. And the deer that people deliberately want to protect, once they breed too much in the forest, they become the "main culprit" for destroying the forest and destroying themselves.
Therefore, nature has its laws, and we cannot blindly destroy it, otherwise we will be punished and let us reap the consequences.
The three of them listened and opened their mouths wide in shock, they had never heard or thought about the ecological balance in the small mountain village, and they had never known that the destruction of the ecological balance would have such serious consequences. The three of them looked at Xiao Han with admiration, and remembered today's words deeply. Especially at the spring equinox, a few years later, when he embarked on his career and was at the height of the temple, he still remembered clearly what his sister had told him, and once again had a deep respect for this wise woman who taught him.
And He Mu and Lixia always feel that Xiaohan has suddenly become smart and wise recently, with a set of big truths, and his speech and thinking are also very agile. If they hadn't grown up together, they would have felt like they had mistaken someone. This kind of Xiaohan makes them feel a little strange, but it brings them a lot of surprises, no matter what, Xiaohan has become strong and smart, which is a good thing. Xiao Han didn't know what they were thinking, and after she finished telling the story, she went back to the house to see Chen making quilts.

In Donglang Town, in the No. 1 private room on the second floor of the Welcome Guest House, Han Guining sat on a chair and drank tea slowly, with the money shopkeeper standing behind him, and a young man in black kneeling on one knee in front of him.
"Han Chun, you don't have to salute, get up and talk back. Han Guining commanded.
"Yes, Childe. Han Chun stood up as he said, and then told Han Guining in detail about the matter. The subordinate followed the girl and the little brother, and heard them talking about the vegetable sales before them. Because I didn't dare to get too close, I didn't hear it very clearly, but there was one sentence I heard clearly, and the girl praised the son for being very self-contained. β
"Really?" Han Guining curled the corners of his mouth, "and continued." β
Seeing this, Han Chun vaguely understood in his heart that he was an extremely smart person, otherwise how could Gongzi let him specialize in inquiring about the news. Then the subordinates followed them outside a jewelry store...... Then they quarreled...... "At this point, he saw Childe staring at him as if he was going to kill someone, which was terrible. It's none of my business, he innocently thought, I'm just paraphrasing someone else's words. He hurriedly picked up speed and told the story of cow dung. Sure enough, Childe turned his anger into joy when he heard this, Han Chun let out a sigh of relief and wiped a handful of sweat, no way, Childe's aura was too strong.
Then they went to the vegetable market, met up with the girl's brother and mother, and then they went to eat wontons together. After that, they went shopping. The girl bought a lot of cotton and fabric, saying that she was going to make quilts. Han Guining nodded, and the money shopkeeper on the side interjected at the right time: "After taking the money, she will buy cotton to make quilts immediately, which shows that this is what her family lacks the most." Looking at yesterday's appearance, Miss Lin's family is indeed relatively poor. β
"Well, that's why I didn't bother with her yesterday, in fact, that money doesn't matter to us, but for poor families, it is related to their food and clothing and living plans. And their spicy cabbage is really delicious. β
"Childe is kind-hearted. The two of them praised in unison. Han Guining waved his hand and asked Han Chun to continue.
The subordinate pretended to be a merchant and followed them back to the village. Their home is in Qinghe Village, about 20 miles from the town. There is a river called Qingshui River in this village, and the village is named after this river. The subordinates stayed at the village chief's house that night, but the village chief was surnamed Tang, and Tang Yun was of the same clan. The subordinates pretended to chat and inquired about Miss Lin. Then he elaborated on the entanglement between Lin Xiaohan and Tang Yun that he had heard, the relationship with He Mu, and the situation of family members. Han Guining's face was cloudy when he heard this, and finally he was thoughtful.
Han Chun looked at his face cautiously, and said tentatively: "My subordinates didn't expect that Miss Lin looked at such a weak woman, but her temperament was so strong, and she was so smart and clever, but she was very different from those ignorant village women. β
The money shopkeeper also twisted his beard and exclaimed: "I'd rather be a poor wife than a rich concubine, it's really backbone and insightful." also understands the newly promulgated regulations of the Holy Lord, then Tang Yun was said to be a disloyal, unfilial, unkind and unrighteous person, if it spreads, there will be no hope for his career. Childe, you look at people really accurately, judging from these things, this Lin girl really surprises people. β
The corners of Han Guining's mouth were raised high, showing the pleasure in his heart. Han Chun was surprised, since Childe had suffered an accident, he had rarely seen a sincere smile on Childe's face. Although I usually smile when I see people, I always wear a mask. It seems that that girl has a certain influence on Childe.
Han Chun was pondering in his heart, and only listened to Gongzi's instructions: "Give you a task, and I will go to the village every few days to inquire about Miss Lin's news, and then return to me." When Han Chun heard this, his heart sank, and he hurriedly agreed.
After Han Chun went down, the shopkeeper refilled a cup of tea for Han Guining, and asked carefully: "Childe looks at Miss Lin differently, isn't it...... It's a pity that Miss Lin's family background and son-in-law really don't match, I'm afraid the old man won't agree. And Miss Lin has an oath not to be a concubine for her wife, I am afraid that in the end, it will be difficult for the son to achieve his wish. β
"Why did you leave the capital and come to this country, I just wanted to get rid of their control. My family affairs cannot be the weight of his promotion, and they cannot become a stepping stone for him to pursue glory and wealth. No matter who I have my eye on, no one can change my decision. Han Guining said with a firm face.
"Okay, as long as it's Childe's decision, I will definitely support it. The money shopkeeper also said resolutely.
"Thank you, Uncle Qian, you have been defending me all these years, if it weren't for you, maybe I would have been killed by that mother-in-law, and I would have regarded you as my elder. Han Guining gratefully shook his hand and said emotionally.
"Childe, don't say that, torture the old slave. At the beginning, Mrs. had the grace of knowing me, and I had the feeling of being lonely, I had nothing to repay, only by protecting you well could I be worthy of Mrs. Lady's spirit in the sky. Fortunately, now that the son has grown up safely, his mind is mature, his means are powerful, and he is out of the control of the Han family, I finally lived up to my wife's entrustment. Madame would have been very pleased if she had known about it. The money shopkeeper said gloomily.
Speaking of his kind and gentle but hard-working mother, Han Guining also looked sad and silent. There was silence in the room, and after a long time, the money shopkeeper quietly withdrew from the door.
Lin Xiaohan, what kind of woman are you? Han Guining has never seen such a woman: smart, cunning, bold, and pungent, although she is not a beautiful woman, she has a natural temperament on her body, which people can never forget after seeing each other......

The Tang family, after Tang Yun went home yesterday, his mother found the scars on his face, and after asking him repeatedly, he knew that He Mu beat him, and because of Lin Xiaohan, Li's lungs were blown up, and he was going to find them to theorize. Tang Yun hurriedly grabbed her, saying that it was useless to go, and it was impossible to say that Lin Xiaohan's mouth was too much, and Li said that it was just like that. Tang Yun said of course not, he leaned into Li's mouth and told her so. Li was overjoyed when he heard this, and said that this was a good idea, and it made her reputation stink, and he saw who dared to ask her.
"It's good that no one wants her, I want her, but it's just to be a concubine. Tang Yun said with a gloomy face.
"Yes, when the time comes, wait for her to enter the door and tell her to be obedient. Let her go east, she dare not go west, let her go south, she dare not go north, so that she can be satisfied. Li said through gritted teeth.
