Chapter 718: Little Mountain People
Because of the newcomer, Tie Yan didn't tell Mr. Hua that his family members were also here for the time being. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info In case he leaks his mouth, it will be troublesome for Zhang Dashan and these people to know. Most men who have been in prison for a long time are **** eager for a woman to vent, he doesn't care what this woman looks like, just a woman, and seeing a woman is more ferocious than a beast. Qing'er is a bit of kung fu, and Tie Yan didn't dare to mention it rashly, he didn't want to bring disaster to Wenjuan because he was not careful in speaking.
Thanks to Qing'er coming with him, he has grown up and become a young man. is really like Tie Yan's brother, handsome, honest, and shy. All the tiring work at home is his, and he has to teach Bing'er martial arts. Bing'er has been a waiter for several years, although she has been constrained a lot, she also knows a lot of words, can write, calculate, and rode ponies and arrows with the three princes in the palace. The third prince became the emperor, but Bing'er became the child of the prisoner and arrived in this border town.
People are incomparable, their fates are different, and the path of life is also different, some suffer hardships and sins, and some enjoy glory and wealth, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. Although Bing'er's home environment is relatively poor, and the food cannot be compared with the palace, Bing'er can endure hardships, and her adaptability to the outside is much stronger than that of the third prince, and she is not as scheming as the royal family, so she is not so tired of living; But the third prince received a higher education, that is to say, what his master taught him was the strategy of governing the country and the country, and the third prince grew up to be a high-ranking person, enjoying fine clothes and food, beautiful wives and concubines, but the burden on his shoulders was also heavy. What can Bing'er do? At most, he was similar to his father, and he entered the palace as a royal guard.
Bing'er and Tie Yan have similar personalities, they don't like to talk much, but they know a lot in their hearts. The difference is that Bing'er is very smart and has a much better memory than her father. In fact, Tie Yan's IQ is not low, otherwise can he be the personal guard of Emperor Shunzhi? Only those who have a fairly fast mind and body reaction are possible.
Soon, Bing'er became the baby's bump for the neighbors' aunts and grandmothers. Bing'er's appearance is too likable, and it is not enough to use a "handsome". The old ladies all said that Bing'er was a fairy child under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva. And Bing'er won the praise of the neighbors for her kindness: he was very helpful, and when he saw the old woman carrying the basket, he immediately went to pick it up and helped bring it home. Whoever has the work he can do will definitely help and will not hide.
Wen Juan's house is very cheap, only ten yuan a month. In fact, the money in her hand can rent a better one, but in order not to be noticed, she can only do this. Wen Juan was afraid of sudden expenses. Tie Yan is a prisoner, and it is inevitable that he will be blackmailed, and he will not be allowed to suffer from some hunger and cold, and he will not be allowed to suffer from punishment: some punishments will be disabled! So Wen Juan took on some needlework to do it, even if there was a penny of input, she didn't let it go. Qing'er collects firewood every day, not only has enough firewood at home, but also carries it to the town to sell. Bing'er wanted to go to collect firewood with Uncle Qing, but Qing'er didn't worry that Wenjuan was at home alone, even though Bing'er was young, she could give the young lady a courage, Qing'er went home after collecting firewood, and she didn't dare to delay on the road at all, and she didn't even want to rest for a while. Because he has always heard people say that bandits here rob women. The safety of the young lady has become Qing'er's heart disease. The young master can't go home to live in the prison city, and the responsibility of guarding the young lady is naturally Qing'er's, and it is an unshirkable responsibility. Wen Juan learned some skills from Rui Wangfu, but she didn't dare to use them, for fear of attracting attention. It's still the needlework that Grandma Liu found for her, not embroidery, but sewing clothes for people, and the salary is pitiful. But you can't blame Grandma Liu, the people here rarely spend money, they all dig in the soil, and pick up some mountain goods on the edge of the forest in autumn and winter.
Winter turns to spring, the earth recovers, and the mountains turn from snow-capped to verdant. The lark is so good! Bing'er always wanted to go up the mountain to see it, but of course she wasn't allowed to. If you get lost in the dense primeval forest, you will be smashed and eaten by wild beasts. This is a typical wild place, so Wen Juan repeatedly told Bing'er not to go near the forest. The children at that time were very obedient, and their mothers did not go if they did not tell them to come close to the forest, so as not to worry about their mothers. He helped his mother carry water up from the well, helped her light the fire when she was cooking, and then went to pick up Uncle Qing'er, who was collecting firewood. When I have free time, I read and practice calligraphy and martial arts, and my mother used the income from needlework to let Qing'er buy paper and pens so that Bing'er and Qing'er could read. The neighbors always thought that Qing'er was Wenjuan's husband, although she looked younger than her daughter-in-law, and there were more sons-in-law that year.
Wen Juan has never dared to show her beautiful face, for fear of causing trouble because of her beauty, so she disguises herself early every day, and she is ugly: her eyebrows are thickened, and the corners of her eyes are drooping a little. Bing'er didn't understand, and reminded her mother in a low voice: "Why did you make yourself ugly?" ”
"Shhhh Don't make a sound! Mother is for safety! Do you know why you ran to this place to suffer? It's for my mother's face! You're too young to understand. It's not a good thing for a woman to be pretty! ”
Bing'er not only widened her eyes but also opened her mouth wide, and her heart was inexplicable: What is my mother talking about?
Wen Juan gently patted her son's face, "Child, you'll know when you grow up." ”
Bing'er said: "The child knows, you are afraid that people will bully you, and some people are very bad and specialize in bullying women." Don't be afraid, there is ice to protect you. ”
"Son, you are still young, and when you grow up to be as tall as Uncle Qing'er, you will be able to protect your mother. Now, with Uncle Qing'er protecting your mother, you can rest assured that you can study, practice martial arts, and grow your skills. Your father will go back if he encounters amnesty. ”
"Yes! Bing'er remembered her mother's words. ”
Because Tie Yan was wronged, Wen Juan is still looking forward to the amnesty. Although she lives an almost primitive life in this small prison city, Wen Juan is also very content, her husband and son are by her side, so she doesn't have to worry about her stomach so much. She felt that she was very hopeful: if the current emperor was in power ten years later, then she and her husband were not old, and her son should grow up and marry a wife and have children. With such a belief, in this small village in the vast forest, I live and work hard.
The spring and summer seasons are the best times here, when the mountains are full of greenery and stretching as far as the eye can see. The mountains are undulating, and a piece of green daisiness. The ethereal mist, like translucent white veil, winds around the mountainside. Su Wenjuan's courtyard is facing a narrow path, on the other side of the road is the upward slope, and then up is the mountainside. There are many pine trees here, and because the trees are dense, the pine trees grow upwards all the time, tall and straight. In the forest, squirrels often chase and play in the trees. Bing'er really wanted to play with squirrels in the woods, but her mother was always very opposed: "You can't go!" Didn't you hear Grandma Liu next door say that this forest is very big? If you go in, you'll get lost, and if you run into a beast, you'll be done! ”
"Mother, I'll just look at the squirrels on the edge of the forest, okay if you don't go into the forest?"
"Oh my God, you're about to become a little mountain dweller, and you always want to go into the mountains. Let Uncle Qing'er lead you to take a look at the edge of the forest. Wen Juan finally agreed to her son's request, the child was too depressed to play with the children, for fear that people would know that his father was a criminal. Qing'er led Bing'er up the hill from the path in front of her house, and Wen Juan was still instructing: "Don't go far!" ”
They didn't dare to go far, so they watched the squirrels and small animals on the edge of the forest: there were hares and pheasants here, and after playing for a while, Qing'er said, "Little master, let's go back, Madame should be worried." ”
Bing'er pouted and went down the mountain with Uncle Qing'er, which should be called the hillside. There are so many shrubs here, as tall as lilac bushes, I don't know what to call them. Bing'er found that under the bushes, there were a lot of small umbrella-like mushrooms, which were similar to those cultivated by Xuan Shizi in King Rui's Mansion, ah no, it should be called Xuan Wangye's "Mansion". Bing'er didn't have a basket, so she took off her gown, spread it on the ground, and went to pick mushrooms.
Qing'er hurriedly stopped him: "Little master, you can't pick this, in case it is poisonous, you will ......" He didn't say the word poisoned to death, which was unlucky.
"Grandma Liu said that poisonous mushrooms grow fresh, and I have seen them in Xue'er's house, and they are this color. The tofu they make has mushrooms in their brains, and it's delicious. Let's go back and find a way to see if it's poisonous. ”
Qing'er couldn't resist Bing'er, so she had to help him pick it quickly, there was a light rain last night, so there were a lot of mushrooms. After a while, a large bag was picked, Qing'er took it, and the two of them went home. Wen Juan was putting up a canopy at the door and looking around, and saw that the uncle and nephew came back happily, so she was relieved to enter the house.
"Mother, Bing'er and Uncle Qing are picking mushrooms. Aren't you good at making tofu brain? Bing'er and San...... Ah, when the third young master goes to Xue'er's house, Brother Xuan's mother will make it, there are diced meat and mushrooms in it, it is so delicious! ”
"My mother knows a little, but there is no soy milk. We'll have to see if it's poisonous. Poisoning is no joke. ”
"Will you try?"
"This is simple, this hairpin is silver. Soak the mushrooms in the water and wait for a while, insert the hairpin into the water, the hairpin does not change color is not poisonous, and if it turns black, it is poisonous. ”
"Mother, you can really do it, and you will test poison."
"Little fool, you haven't heard of it in the palace for years?"
"Hehe, Bing'er didn't care. People seem to be trying it with silver chopsticks, but hairpins are also good? ”
Wen Juan soaked the mushrooms in warm water, and it took a long time to try it, and the hairpin did not have any reaction, indicating that it was not poisonous, but she was still not at ease and didn't dare to eat it indiscriminately, so she dried it first, and asked someone who understood. Bing'er didn't eat the mushrooms and was disappointed. There's no way, let's practice.
When she was resting after practicing, Bing'er scooped half a scoop of cold water from the water tank, and just about to drink it, she felt that her trouser leg was pulled by something, and when she looked down, she saw that it was a white puppy, fluffy, and the tiger brain was very cute. It seemed that it was thirsty, and asked Bing'er for water. Bing'er picked it up and touched its fur and little ears, and it closed its eyes very cooperatively to enjoy it, and made a "whine" sound in its throat, as if it was very willing to accept Bing'er's touch.
Bing'er found a bowl and poured half a bowl of water for it, and the puppy wagged its tail at Bing'er to express his gratitude. Bing'er also gave him a piece of tortilla, and it was eaten in a few bites, apparently hungry.
Then Bing'er hugged it and went from house to house to ask who had lost the puppy.
Grandma Liu, a neighbor, said: "It's our family, this litter of paparazzi is already full moon, and they run around by themselves." This one is given to you, take it back and raise it, and you can take care of your family when you grow up. This kind of dog is a big rice dog, and when it grows up, it looks like a calf, and you see how thick its claws are? Feed it. ”
"Thank you, Grandma Liu." Bing'er happily picked up the puppy again, and then began to build a kennel for it. There were no bricks and tiles in this place, so I had to make a dry base with mud by myself, and put several layers of branches on the cover, and the branches were mudded, and there was a door in front of them, and there was a lot of hay in it, and the puppy was put in. The puppy refused to be inside, and came out again, rubbing Bing'er's legs.
Bing'er said: "Dog, you are already a full moon, you are a big child, you can't stick to me all the time." I still have to do my homework and practice kung fu, can you play by yourself? I'll come and see you when I have time. ”
The dog nodded obediently. Bing'er froze! Because he sees the dog nodding, is that possible? Dogs are very spiritual, but they can nod their heads when they talk to them, right?
Bing'er tried again: "Dog, can you understand me?" ”
The dog nodded again, and Bing'er asked again, "Do you understand what other people are talking about?" ”
The dog shook his head.
Bing'er suddenly remembered that the master taught her the "three tips", which is to train animals, do you want to try it? Bing'er's heart pounded.
Bing'er felt that this was arranged by the master, and let herself try the "three tricks" with this puppy. This kind of thing can't be known to anyone, including Niang and Uncle Qing.
Use the "Beast Gathering Technique" first. He sent the dog to the kennel, came to the door by himself, and silently recited the "Gathering Beast Technique" in a place where the dog could not see him. The dog rushed out of the kennel and ran towards Bing'er with a sneak. It came without knowing where the owner was, which shows that the "Gathering Beast Trick" has a sense of direction. But when the dog first came to Bing'er, almost at the same time there were a few little squirrels, pheasants, and a big cat with a pinch of hair on its ears, Bing'er had never seen this kind of cat, thinking it was a wild cat, and he heard that the wild cat was big, how did he know that it was a lynx? Gather all the lynxes! This is just the beginning, Bing'er's skills are not very great, and the three tricks are not proficient. He was a little scared, and hurriedly recited the "Scattering Beast Formula", but before he could finish it, the animals disappeared. The dog also went back to the den.
"Hey! It really works. If there is any danger, it would be good to gather the animals. Practicing the 'Beast Training Technique'? So Bing'er took the dog as a test, and said in her heart: I only need to train the dog, and other animals should not come. ”
When I think about it, no other animals appear. Then he trained the dog to somersaults, find things, and go to the slope to pick mushrooms, anyway, he used all the tricks he could think of, and there was not a single failure, and the dog was surprisingly obedient. Then he trained Grandma Liu's pig, originally thought how stupid the pig was, would not listen to the shouting, but the result was the opposite, let it go into the house to get things, it can do it, the scissors and the needlework basket are taken out of the mouth, see Bing'er also happily "squeak" several times, do not let it eat it does not dare to eat.
Only then did Bing'er realize how powerful the kung fu her master had lent her, maybe even the big animals would have to be obedient. So he went to the backyard where the old lady could not see to practice the "three tricks", and sent out the idea in his heart to let the birds on the nearby mountains fly in front of him, and then recited the "trick of gathering beasts", a cup of tea, and countless birds and birds flew from all directions, sparrows, magpies, crows, larks, etc., not thousands of seven or eight hundred. also scared Bing'er enough, and said in his heart, "The lark will go back first,"
And the larks flew away. Bing'er thought, "Let's go back too, and the crows flutter their wings and fly away." (To be continued.) )
