Chapter 112 The Old Village Chief's Wish
I don't know if it's because I haven't been home for a long time and I'm too excited, Ling'er can't sleep for a while. She simply lay on her back on the door panel, opened her eyes and looked at the bright window above her head, remembering that the old lady just talked about the herb collector!
The man obviously took the straw pole as Cordyceps, if it was really Cordyceps, the price of one piece according to the market price was at least ten taels or more, and the person who collected the herbs picked a lot, and only gave ten taels in total, he may still be glad that he earned it, right? Hehe, it's stupid, to be recognized by others and see what he does in the future?
If he gets it back...... I'm not afraid to get it back, anyway, my father and mother don't know each other, so it's a big deal to return his money! It's just that...... Ling'er suddenly remembered that before she separated from Ding Zhutou yesterday, what Ding Zhutou wanted to do by himself was to help find a few cordyceps by herself, saying that he was of great use, and she didn't know what he was using it for?
Cordyceps is also available on the vast mountains, but it is relatively rare and difficult to find, and I have also seen some in the medicine warehouse in Liangjia Village, but unfortunately I didn't take it. Remembering the nervous look of the ingots at that time, I believe that I can't bring it out even if I take it!
By the way, Ling'er still hasn't figured it out, why did the people of Liangjia Village drive him out? I started to be fine, but I didn't do anything to be sorry for them, right? "What a bunch of weirdos!" Ling'er muttered quietly.
No, I must find a way to go back to Liangjia Village to see if I can get Cordyceps, so as to have a good relationship with Ding Zhutou; Second, she was very interested in the thousand-year-old ginseng on the cliff opposite the mysterious valley, and she must find a way to get it back, so that not only her father's illness could be cured, but her mother and father could eat it to strengthen their health; If possible, you can also leave half of it for silver, and this will solve a lot of problems!
Ling'er thought about it for a while, and fell asleep unconsciously. Early the next morning, Yue'er took Xiaohuzi and Wan'er to take Xiao Yong'er to play with Ling'er!
It's June now, and it's the hottest time of the year, Ling'er originally planned to go to Banlin Town to take a look around, first, to see the progress of the Yan family's matter, second, to inquire about the news of Cordyceps, and third, to see if the three brothers of the Lin family still need wood? If you have time, you have to go into the vast mountain to see if you can find the entrance to Liangjia Village!
Now it seems that today is not going anywhere! No way, these friends also care about themselves, seeing that they have just come back, they specially came to accompany them, of course they can't push the kindness of others.
As for what to do, Xiaohuzi saw that the weather was hot, and proposed to go to the river to catch fish, Yue'er was very happy, jumping and jumping and clamoring to go, Wan'er was a little embarrassed, saying that his mother was coming back in the afternoon, and he couldn't go far, Ling'er didn't care about herself, but when the old lady heard that everyone was going to the river, she resolutely disagreed, because Ling'er was almost gone to the river last time!
After a few children discussed, they decided to go to the river to play, in order to hide from their father and mother, they used the excuse of going to the village chief's house to see, and this reason Father and mother naturally would not object, and enthusiastically prepared a bunch of gifts.
The old village chief has indeed helped the family a lot in the past few months, and he is Ling'er's master, so Ling'er should naturally go to see his old man's house first when he comes back, so Ling'er carried a bunch of things and took a few friends to the old village chief's house.
When they entered the courtyard, the old village chief was giving a lesson to Wang Fugui and a few people, and as soon as Yue'er entered the door, she happily opened her voice and shouted: "Grandpa, grandma, Ling'er has come to see you!" ”
The old village chief put down the book with a straight face and reprimanded: "Yue'er, how did the old man teach you?" ”
Yue'er stuck out her tongue: "Oh, grandpa, I asked the eldest sister, she said that the rules you said are only the boudoir ladies of the big families, we are small households, and it is serious to be able to work, and we don't have time to do that!" ”
"You girl...... the old village chief was so angry that his face turned blue, and Grandma Gui wiped her hands and came out with a smile: "Okay, okay, old man, early in the morning, what kind of tantrum are you experiencing!" Fugui, Ze'er, Da'er, you must be tired after reading for most of the hour, go, rest for a while, and read again later! ”
Wang Fugui and the others didn't dare to move, they looked at the old village chief, and saw that although the old village chief had a straight face, he didn't object, and a few people who were already familiar with his temper understood that this was a tacit acquiescence! As soon as a few people were happy, they jumped up at once, and ran away with a shout.
Ling'er handed the gift to Grandma Gui and thanked her, and then came to the old village chief and saluted respectfully. The old village chief glanced at her, nodded slightly, and said, "Come with me to the study!" ”
Yue'er rushed over suddenly: "Grandpa, what are you taking Ling'er to the study?" I'm going too! ”
The old village chief was about to reprimand again, but Grandma Gui hurriedly pulled her aside and said with a smile: "Yue'er, come, grandma made something delicious, take Wan'er and Yong'er to the kitchen to eat, obedient, ah!" ”
Ling'er followed the old village chief into the study, this was the first time she had entered this room. There is a large desk in front of the window facing the room, a coffee table in the middle of the room, and the surrounding places against the wall are all big wooden bookshelves, and the bookshelves are full of books.
The old village chief sat down at the desk, pointed to the small stool next to him, and said, "Sit down!" ”
Ling'er meekly did as she was told, the room was silent for a long time, and the old village chief said, "Ling'er! ”
"Yes, Master!"
"Do you know what caused this disaster?"
Ling'er was stunned for a moment, looked up at the old village chief, and thought about it, could it be that the village chief was blaming himself for breaking the legs of the eldest and second leg of the Yan family? Seeing that she didn't answer, the old village chief said with a straight face: "Since you are the old man's student, the old man must be responsible for your words and deeds!" Are you wrong? ”
Ling'er lowered her head and thought about the events of the past few months, if she hadn't been impulsive, she wouldn't have been forced to flee for so long, and her father and mother didn't have to suffer, she was really wrong, but the situation at that time ......
The old village chief has been paying attention to the changes in her expression, and sighed lightly: "Ling'er, the old man has always thought that you are thoughtful, calm, and will not do these foolish things, but now you have not only done something wrong, but also don't know where the mistake is!" It seems that the old man doesn't know anyone! ”
"No, Master, in fact, I don't want to, but you don't know the situation at that time, if we don't resist, the Yan family may even burn down our house, my father and mother worked so hard to raise me, how can I watch them being insulted and bullied! Master, don't you put filial piety first? I'm also filial piety when I do that! ”
"Sophistry! Do you know how your father and mother have spent the past few months since you left Wangjia Village? If it weren't for the Yan family's accident this time, how would your elderly father and mother spend the rest of their lives? ”
Yun Shu was stunned, remembering that night when Mrs. Yan led a bunch of people to bully her father and mother in the mountains behind her house, she was sad for a while, and she was also guilty, but... But ......, Ling'er raised her head: "Master, Ling'er knows that she is wrong, but Ling'er doesn't understand, what is the right thing to do in that situation?" ”
"Alas!" The old village chief sighed and said, "If everything is-for-tat, the result will only be a lose-lose situation; If the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is our own side that loses in the end! At this time, it is best to avoid its edge and attack it from the side, so that you can not only protect yourself, but also completely defeat the opponent! ”
Ling'er thought about it, how did these words sound like the art of war? However, it does make sense at this time, if you endure it a little longer and wait for the old village chief to come to solve it, maybe the result will not be like this!
Ling'er bowed her head and admitted her mistake: "Thank you Master for mentioning something, Ling'er understands!" ”
"It's good if you understand, Ling'er, although you are a woman, the old man doesn't want you to use your mind and talent to teach your husband and children, the old man believes that as long as you have a heart, you will be able to do a lot of things that are beneficial to the country's society!"
Ling'er was stunned, what was he talking about? What does a little country girl have to do with the country's social security? The old village chief thinks too highly of himself, right?
Seeing her confused, the old village chief stood up and paced and said: "The old man has been to many places when he was young, and our generation in Cangmanshan is quite peaceful, but the north and south are wars every year, and the people there have no fixed residence, and they freeze and starve to death countless times a day!" Your father's ancestral home is a war-torn zone, so the old man will do his best to help them!
Alas, although the old man is just an ordinary person, but the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, the old man has always hoped to do something for the court and the people, but unfortunately the old man's ability is limited, and in the end he can achieve nothing, so he can only return to this mountain to teach and teach the gangsters!
Ling'er girl, do you understand what the old man means? ”
Ling'er looked at the old village chief in a daze, of course she understood that the old village chief really thought highly of himself, he hoped that he could fulfill his wish and do something for the country and the people, but what could he do with his small body?
The old village chief paced to the bookshelf, took out a book from it, and handed it to Ling'er: "This... Take it back to the good students to study and study, and if you don't understand, ask the old man, I hope he will be useful to you in the future! ”
Ling'er took it, this book is obviously a manuscript, there are no words on the cover, the pages are old, I don't know how many times the owner has read it, but the slight damage has been carefully repaired and added words, which shows the owner's love for this book. She flipped through a few pages and looked at the contents and notes, which seemed to be a ...... Soldiers!
The Book of War? Where did the old village chief get the military book? He was a soldier? Oh, no, I'm a little girl doll, what did the old village chief do with his own soldier's book? Thinking about his old man's serious words just now, could it be that he still hopes that he will not be able to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy?
Ling'er is a spirit, she is not that material, no matter how strong she is, when she sees that the legs of those murderous barbarians are weak, what kind of enemy will she kill?
"That's... Master, I... This book ......"
"Although this is a book of soldiers, it is also very useful for you to live in the world, so take it to the good students to study!" Since the old village chief said so, Ling'er couldn't refuse, so she had to respectfully take it into her arms.
The old village chief said, "You go out first!" ”
Ling'er promised to go out and take a look around, Wang Fugui's two companions were the two grandsons of the old village chief, and now they were pinching the mud figures in the corner, and they didn't know where the mud came from? The voice of Yue'er talking to Grandma Gui came from the kitchen, and occasionally Xiao Yong'er's milky and cute voice.
She was about to walk to the kitchen, and suddenly found a figure under the tree in the corner of the courtyard, no, there is another one behind the tree, look carefully, isn't the one outside Wang Fugui? And the faintly peeking corners of the skirt under the tree...... It's Wan'er! (To be continued.)
