Cai Wei silently raised the bowl in her hand, Qin Fei was thirsty for a long time, and thought that she was going to come over to feed herself water, but who knew that someone would bring it to her mouth and drink it all.

"You!" Qin Fei glared at her and said, "Didn't you hear what I just said?" ”

Cai Wei got up first and lifted the tarpaulin at the entrance of the cave, and when she saw that there was no one outside, she re-entered the cave and said, "Why didn't you hear it, Gongzi praised me for teaching students well, I can hear it clearly." ”

Qin Fei saw that Cai Wei had made it clear that he was sick and weak at this time, so as to avenge the one arrow he had bullied her before, his eyes rolled, and he said with a smile: "When this son is sick, you would rather be hungry yourself and let me eat the porridge." But why wait for me to wake up, but I don't even give your son-in-law a drink of saliva, Steward Zhou's mind is really hard to guess! ”

Cai Wei added a few more handfuls of firewood and grass to the fire, and put the jug on the fire again, "I was just afraid that if my son would get sick, your uncle would blame him, and I couldn't explain it." ”

"What's so bad about this, aren't you a new big brother? I see that he is very attentive to you, if this son dies, you let your apprentice brother bury me on the spot, and then follow them away, it will not be over, and you can get out of the sea of suffering from now on. ”

He asked her to call her eldest brother before, but she didn't shout alive, but she shouted louder and louder at a country man.

"It seems that although Childe's illness is severe, he is getting better quickly, he was unconscious yesterday, and today he has the spirit to eavesdrop on the corner?"

"I've eaten two more meals from Steward Zhou, can you not be faster? Otherwise, how can I be worthy of Steward Zhou's loyalty to me? ”

"Then the boy may stand up and ride down the hill now?"

"Well, this one, I'm afraid I'll have to give Steward Zhou a few more meals for you."

"In this case, if the son sees someone coming these days, let's continue to pretend to be unconscious, I have already instructed Qiu Wu, wait for a few days when the son is well, let's find a way to go down the mountain."

"I'm afraid that when the time comes, Steward Zhou's disciples will be happy to teach, and they will be reluctant to go down the mountain with me."

Cai Wei didn't bother to pay attention to his yin and yang weirdness, and estimated that the water in the jug should be warm, so she poured a bowl out and handed it over, "The water that Childe wants." ”

Qin Fei was stunned for a moment, and instantly understood that she didn't give herself water to drink before because the water was cold, which was not good for her sick body, and she had to boil the water before giving herself a drink, and suddenly a warmth surged into her heart. But looking at the bowl of water handed over by Cai Wei, not only did he not reach out to take it, but deliberately □□ twice, "I don't have the strength in my hands, you feed me to drink." ”

Cai Wei glanced at him, "Childe, don't be pretending to be with me again, right?" ”

Qin Fei coughed twice, and said weakly: "The fever on my body hasn't subsided yet, it's good to be able to speak, how can I still have the strength to bring water, if you don't feed me again, the water will be cold again." ”

Cai Wei is no longer as repulsive to him as before, frowning slightly, but still feeding him to drink.

Although Qin Fei deliberately asked her to feed him, his high fever did not subside, and he woke up and listened to the corner for a long time, and he was already a little unable to support it, so he barely drank a bowl of water, and then fell asleep again.

It wasn't until late evening that Qiu Wu and the others returned to the mountain, and in addition to bringing back a cart full of rice and noodles, everyone carried it on their shoulders and brought back enough food.

In the next few days, everyone lived in this valley temporarily, and as soon as Zhang Jinzhong had a free time, he pulled his brother over to Zhou's housekeeper to teach them to read and write.

Cai Wei wants to teach one is also to teach, to teach two is also to teach, simply every day after breakfast, in the valley under a big banyan tree opened a simple school, these people in Zhangjia Village, but anyone who wants to learn to read and write can go to the tree to listen to Mr. Zhou's lectures.

Cai Wei talked for two days, and saw that in addition to the one or twenty young men who came to learn to read and write, there would often be two or three girls rubbing on the side, pretending to sew and do work, while secretly listening to her explain words or tell some small stories. She didn't say anything, she was very happy when they were secretly studying on the side, which shows that both men and women have such a heart to learn.

But in the eyes of some people, they feel that these girls are a little unscrupulous, and they even want to learn to read and write like them. So one day, Wang Ermao, a half-grown son, saw his sister Siya sitting next to him, listened and listened, put down the needle and thread, and also picked up a branch and began to write and scratch on the ground, and immediately laughed at her.

"What are you doing learning to write like a girl? Do you want to take the top exam in the future? As long as you women can do housework, reading and literacy are all learned by our old men, do you learn to fart, don't hurry up and go back to help your mother cook, that's what you should do. ”

Cai Wei immediately shouted: "Since you follow me to learn to read and write, then I am your husband, above this school, Mr. has not spoken yet, Wang Ermao, you are very fast?" Do I not allow your sister to read and write? As I said a long time ago, I will teach you to read, and whoever wants to learn can go down to this big banyan tree, and if you can learn it, why can't your sister learn it? ”

Wang Ermao was unconvinced: "How can she compare with me, I am a male doll, how can she be a female doll as expensive as our male dolls, we will be able to take the champion exam and become a big official in the future after reading the book, what can their female dolls do, can they also take the top exam and become a big official like us?" Isn't it just for us to do laundry, cook and give birth to dolls? ”

Is it true that being a woman is just used to be a doll for housework?

A wave of anger rushed straight to Cai Wei's chest, but when men all over the world, and even many women, thought so, what could she do if she refuted this little boy?

Cai Wei clenched her fists, took a deep breath, and said slowly: "The things in this world are very difficult to say, often thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. At present, women are not allowed to refer to the imperial examination, but who knows what the situation will be like in another 30 years, and it is not necessary that women will be able to participate in the imperial examination and become officials at that time? ”

What's more, a woman can read and write, even if she can't take the top exam now, she can teach her children to read and learn words in the future, and raise a champion son. How can it be said that it is completely useless? ”

The rude words of this country boy pierced Cai Wei's heart deeply, because she knew that not only this country boy who had never read anything looked down on women so naturally, but also those men who read poetry and books were just like this country boy, who only regarded women as their vassal private property, and the whole point of saving zài was to wait for them more comfortably, and then give them a son so that they could pass on the lineage.

From generation to generation, the men who live on this river and mountain have put their mothers, sisters, and daughters in a lower and lower position, depriving them of one right after another that they should have enjoyed with them.

However, this unfair, only men-only world will not continue like this forever, although she does not see any light now, but she believes that one day, the women living in this land can go to school with the men in the open, go to the imperial examinations, and do those things that the men thought they would never be able to do, instead of being locked up in the back house either to do laundry, cooking, and having children, or to fight for the favor of men.

On this day, she finished talking about the words to be learned that day, and told them a few stories from the thirty-six plans. It wasn't until the sun was setting in the west, and it was time to make dinner, that her disciples dispersed. Zhang Jinzhong asked his younger brother to go back to cook for his mother, and he stayed for a while so that Cai Wei could continue to tell him a piece of "The Art of War".

Cai Wei told him a short paragraph and asked him, "In a few days, my son-in-law's illness should be cured, and I will persuade him to give you the two thousand taels of silver tickets, but if you don't have a long-term plan, even if you have more silver, you will sit and eat empty, I don't know what your plans are in the future?" ”

Zhang Jinzhong was stunned for a moment, if Huang Gongzi was cured, then Mr. Zhou would definitely follow his son-in-law to that academy, and he would not stay here to teach them to read and write.

After a long time, he said: "In the past few days, I have also thought about how to live in the future, and my younger brother said that it is better to learn from the heroes of Shuibo Liangshan, so he simply occupies the mountain as the king." But I don't think I can always make a living by robbing things. In fact, if it weren't for the heavy taxes of the court, which really made people unable to live, we wouldn't have ......, but I thought that if we had the silver, we would go south to see if we could buy some fields to continue growing crops. ”

Cai Wei was about to speak, when she suddenly saw Qiu Wu coming over and said, "Steward Zhou, the son is awake and asks you to come over and ask you something." ”

Cai Wei entered the cave and saw that Qin Fei was leaning against the mountain wall and sitting on the quilt, looking at herself coldly with a pair of dark eyes, and opened her mouth to say, "My illness is cured, clean up, let's go down the mountain." ”
