Chapter 117: Little Han Qi's Wish
Wang Baoshan's original intention was actually very good, but he never wanted to make the six-year-old little Han Qi so frightened and scared to cry.
When he cried, he was really heartbroken, crying sadly, which made Wang Baoshan feel deeply guilty when he saw it.
"Alright, alright, it's not your fault, you better go to breakfast!"
Wang Baoshan couldn't bear it, so he let a child who was only more than six years old be punished for himself, so he had to comfort him.
"Really ......"
Who knew that Wang Baoshan, as soon as he said it, Xiao Hanqi immediately stopped crying, and his little face was also instantaneous, and his worries turned into joy.
"It's... Yes..."
Wang Baoshan couldn't help but be amused by him when he saw him change so quickly.
"Hehe, that's what you said......"
Xiao Hanqi wiped away his tears, picked up Wang Baoshan's clothes, and ran away.
"Hey, this kid is so cunning!"
Lu Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw him leave like this.
"He's still young, so don't punish him. I see that there are a lot of children in the army, is it really appropriate for them to come to work at such a young age?"
When Wang Baoshan said this, he looked at the people who had already begun to work in the fields in the distance, and there was some worry in his eyes.
When Lu Yun heard this, he didn't understand what he meant, so he asked, "Did the general say that they won't be allowed to work in the future?"
"Well, how many ten-year-old children are there in our barracks?"
"There are almost more than 20, and there are still some who haven't come, and it is estimated that there are more than 100 ......."
"That's a lot!"
Wang Baoshan usually didn't pay much attention to these, but now he was a little surprised when he heard Lu Yunyi say it.
"When I was younger, I didn't want them in other barracks in the army, so I could only be arranged, and we came here to eat together. ”
"Brother Lu, what do you mean by eating mixed rice?"
Seeing the tone of his speech, he was a little unhappy, and Lu Yun hurriedly changed his words and said, "The general forgives me, I said the wrong thing." ”
"You, we are all miserable people, how can you look down on them in turn?"
"Yes, it's all my fault for a slip of the tongue......"
"Okay, pay more attention in the future. ”
After Wang Baoshan finished speaking, he asked Lu Yun to follow him back to his thatched house.
"During this time, I have worked hard for you, and I don't have anything good for you after the hard work, so you can accept this. ”
After returning to the thatched hut, Wang Baoshan took out a small piece of gold from the Qingling Ring in his hand and handed it to Lu Yun.
That piece of gold, glittering with golden light, about the size of a thumb, was one of the many items that Wang Baoshan had obtained from the unknown python cave and snake cave on the edge of the Yellow River.
"No, General, you better keep it! I don't need it for the time being. ”
Although Lu Yun was a little strange, why Wang Baoshan would suddenly reward him with gold, and it was so much at once.
"Why don't you like gold?"
"No, I have a lot of them, it's just that I've hidden them, and besides, I have food and shelter now, and I don't need it!"
Lu Yun smiled politely, as if he was not interested in gold. Instead, he was very curious about Wang Baoshan, who could take things out of thin air, and said: "General, how did you take out the gold just now, why did I only look at you, and when I flipped it over, the golden light flashed in my hand, and this piece of gold came out like this?"
Wang Baoshan was also stunned when he asked, blaming himself for being careless, and he didn't pay attention to it, so in front of Lu Yun, he used the Qingling Ring, the spiritual treasure of this storage.
"Well, that's ......."
Then, in desperation, he had no choice but to introduce the Qingling Ring in his hand to Lu Yun.
"I really can't imagine that there are such magical treasures in this world, I don't know how many things can be contained in it?"
Wang Baoshan was not afraid of a big tongue and biting the flesh, so in front of Lu Yun, he said: "In addition to some valuables, I have taken out the weapons and armor inside, and there is still a lot of space inside." I guess I can barely fit in the three thatched huts I live in, and the surrounding places within a thousand steps......"
"What ......"
When Lu Yun heard this, he was stunned, is there really such a magical thing in this world?
"What's wrong with you, let me tell you, there are no wonders in this world, just take you as an example, don't you also have the ability to teleport, you can penetrate anything, probe for things, and ...... effortlessly"
"General, when you say that, I can easily understand. But your magic weapon is really extraordinary, I want to ......"
As Lu Yun said this, he was a little hesitant, I don't know why.
Wang Baoshan saw him staring at his Qingling Ring, his eyes seemed to be on fire, and he was afraid that he would ask for it, so he hurriedly said, "What do you want? ”
"General, you misunderstood, how could I want your things, I just wanted to tell you something. ”
When Wang Baoshan heard him say that something was wrong, he was a little puzzled, so he asked: "What's the matter?"
When Lu Yun heard this, he didn't answer him immediately, but turned around to the door of the thatched house, looked left and right, closed the doors and windows, and came to him.
Wang Baoshan was baffled by his cautious actions, and the doubts in his heart became bigger and bigger.
"General, didn't I tell you last time that I hid all the treasures I stole before......"
Lu Yun's voice was very low, as if he was afraid that others would hear it, almost biting Wang Baoshan's ear, telling him a secret.
As he said this, a morning passed.
At noon, it was still Xiao Hanqi who came to deliver the meal, but this time he seemed to be more cautious, afraid that he would lose Wang Baoshan's lunch again.
At this time, Lu Yun also left the thatched hut and went back to the centralized hut in the peasant barracks to have lunch.
After he left, Wang Baoshan had lunch.
He found that today's meal was also good, and the variety was good. I saw three steamed buns, a plate of roasted wild vegetables, and a big bowl of rice soup.
Xiao Han Qi was dumbfounded, standing aside and watching him eat, with a hungry expression on his little face.
"Didn't you eat?"
Wang Baoshan was seen by him, and his heart was furious, so he asked him.
"No, my mother didn't let me eat, and my father beat me up......"
When Xiao Hanqi said this, there were tears in his eyes, as if the grievances in his heart were as big as a tide, and once he was channeled, he continued endlessly.
"Come on, eat with me!"
Wang Baoshan couldn't stand his crying, beckoned him over, had lunch together, and found a small bowl and poured him some rice soup.
But to his father Han Shu, he beat him inexplicably, and he was a little puzzled, so he asked him: "Why is your father here?"
"Well, my dad came back to see us, and he left after a while, and he happened to bump into us, and I ...... this morning"
Xiao Hanqi held a steamed bun in one hand and a small bowl of rice soup in the other, and said while eating, it seemed that he was really hungry.
"Eat slowly, don't choke, your father came to see you, why did he beat you......!
"It's not that he blames me for not being able to do things, which makes you angry!"
Xiao Han Qi's words, as soon as he said it, made Wang Baoshan's heart hurt, and he thought of his childhood. Once upon a time, when he was Xiao Hanqi's age, he didn't also work every day, and he had to do a lot of things in order to eat a bite.
At the age of more than six years, there are not many things that can be done, but there are also many of them. At that time, in addition to helping his adoptive father with housework, he also had to go up the mountain to chop wood.
And his adoptive father, Wang Yi, was often away from home at that time, and rarely educated him well, but after a while, he came back once and brought him something to eat, so that he would not go hungry.
This is exactly like this, Wang Baoshan was very young and learned to live alone, so that his feelings for his adoptive father Wang Yi were a little vague and insipid.
Can a six-year-old child afford the hardships of life?
Now thinking back on those bitter pasts, Wang Baoshan is still a little melancholy, he doesn't know how many children like Xiao Hanqi are there?
Childhood should not be carefree, so why let them accept the burden of life too early?
Whose fault is it, their parents, or the adults around them?
But where are they wrong?
According to Wang Baoshan's understanding, the children of the poor are in charge of the family at an early age, and it seems that all this is so natural.
From a very young age, the children of the village began to work very early, working in the fields with their parents.
In addition to the busy farming season, they have leisure time and comfortable days that belong to them.
At that time, Wang Baoshan, although he did not have to work in the fields like other children in the village. But in his daily life, he still needs to cook by himself, what laundry and cooking, chopping wood and carrying water, which he started doing very early......
The past is unbearable, and my thoughts are disturbed like the wind, drifting away in my memory. When I touched it again, I had already forgotten the pain of the time, so that the events in my memory were only pale outlines.
Wang Baoshan retracted his chaotic thoughts, but found that he had just eaten a steamed bun, and all the other food was eaten by Xiao Hanqi.
"You're so young, your father didn't teach you, and other things, only let you work with them?"
"He taught me to be diligent and do more things in order to be looked down upon!"
Xiao Hanqi burped and began to clean up the empty dishes, intending to take them back to be cleaned.
"Except for doing things, I didn't teach you anything else, such as reading and reading?"
"No, my dad can't even know a few words, how can he teach me!"
"Oh... That's the same!" Wang Baoshan thought about it, but he also understood a little.
"General, can you tell me what those books are?"
"It's a whole new world and you can learn a lot. ”
When Xiao Hanqi heard this, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and he immediately became interested, and said in surprise: "Really, I heard my father say that like Mr. Zhao and Uncle Du, they are people who have university knowledge and know a lot of things. ”
"Then do you want to be like them, there are universities to ask?"
Wang Baoshan was also surprised, the little Han Qi was quite smart, and he actually knew Zhao Qingshan and Du Xiaosan.
"Of course I do, but it's a pity that I don't know how to read, and I can't read......"
When Xiao Han Qi said this, the look on his little face was a little gloomy, obviously in the face of difficult reality, he also had a dream of reading and a desire to gain knowledge.
