Chapter 3: Stories and Giving Birth
Although Seinfeld and Wu Zheng both have the habit of getting up early to exercise, it has never been said that the two of them have come back together, and every time Seinfeld comes back and has breakfast, Wu Zheng appears in the doorway sweating profusely.
It's just that Seinfeld came back later today than usual, so Xiang'er asked.
But Seinfeld didn't seem to notice this, and just said casually: "He may still be playing his tai chi in the bamboo forest!" ”
"Uncle is practicing boxing, was it taught by Miss?" Xiang'er asked curiously.
Seinfeld smiled and teased, "Your young lady won't be able to punch him." ”
In Seinfeld's opinion, Wu Zheng's so-called Tai Chi is not so much a health preservation skill, but rather a blind comparison, she has never heard of such a weak health maintenance skill.
After eating breakfast alone, he handed over the book he borrowed from Liu Wen to Xiang'er, and after instructing her to hand over the book to Wu Zheng, he went to his own small building alone.
About an hour later, Wu Zheng finally came back.
Upstairs, Xiang'er had already heated the rest of the breakfast again and placed it in his room, and when he saw Wu Zheng at the door, he asked, "Uncle, why did you come back so late today?" ”
Wu Zheng said: "When I came back, I met the three masters in the village and chatted with him for a while. ”
"Three masters!" Xiang'er was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "What did he tell you?" ”
"Nonsense! Probably asked me if I was used to living in the village these days. Oh yes, he also said that He Lao Wu's wife in the village was about to give birth, and said that I was a scholar and a scholar, and after his mother was born, he would give his child a good name. But looking at Xiang'er, you seem to be very nervous about me chatting with him! ”
Xiang'er came over angrily and said: "Uncle is not Xiang'er talking about you, you have to stay away from him in the future, then Zhao Yi is not at ease, he asked you to name He Lao Wu's child, but who in the village doesn't know that Uncle you are a fool...... Forget it, anyway, my uncle just remember to stay away from him in the future. ”
"But I think he's quite easy-going!"
"Uncle...... Xiang'er said this for your own good, you don't know the hearts of good people. ”
Wu Zheng smiled, sat down at the table, grabbed a steamed bun and asked with a smile, "Is it?" Then tell me why Zhao Yi didn't have a good heart? ”
There were only Xiang'er and Wu Zheng in this room, but Xiang'er still looked left and right like a thief, and then ran to Wu Zheng's side and whispered, "Uncle, do you know?" That Zhao Yi has been staring at our young lady, and he also proposed to the old man when the old man was there, but the old man did not agree.
At that time, he didn't dare to make a mistake with the master, but after the master left, Zhao Yi seemed to be a different person, becoming more and more arrogant, and even the young lady was about to lose his eyes, and the young lady was forced by him to have no choice but to decide to go down the mountain to grab his relatives. ”
Wu Zheng took a sip of white porridge and said, "So can I get your young lady or do I trust Zhao Yi's blessing?" ”
"Uh...... Uncle can't say that. ”
Wu Zheng smiled: "Hehe...... Is it? So what should I say? ”
Xiang'er scratched her head and said: "This Xiang'er doesn't know, but Xiang'er knows that this is definitely not right, in short, my uncle must stay away from that Zhao Yi in the future, according to Liu Mang's eldest brother's words, you are rivals in love, you can't beat him, and your brain is not good, and he doesn't know if he sells you when the time comes." ”
"Hehe, you can rest assured that he can't sell me, by the way, Xiang'er, what is that?" Wu Zheng pointed to the book on the desk.
"That's the book that the young lady borrowed from you, I'm afraid that you will be bored alone in the mountains and let you use it to pass the time."
"Oh, that's what your young lady said?"
"Uh...... That's not it, in fact, Miss didn't say anything at the time, but Xiang'er thought that Miss was looking for a book for her uncle to read, probably because she was afraid that her uncle would be bored alone! ”
Wu Zheng put down the steamed buns, walked over, picked up a book and flipped through it casually: "This book was borrowed by your young lady?" Who did you borrow it from? ”
"Uncle Liu! Uncle Liu was the sect leader in Longtan County back then, and he was the most learned person in the history of our Shenmu Village. ”
"Which Uncle Liu?"
"It's Uncle Liu Wen who lives next door to us! By the way, uncle, if you don't understand anything, you can ask Uncle Liu for advice, for the sake of the young lady, his old man will definitely teach you. ”
In Xiang'er's opinion, she is still the stupid nerd who can't even pass the 20-year-old exam, but Wu Zheng won't take it to heart, and it is really a little funny to look at Xiang'er's old-fashioned appearance that cares about herself.
As for the Zhao Yi she mentioned, Wu Zheng just smiled and picked up a book and read it, and after a few flips, he found that the few books that Seinfeld borrowed this time were all four books and five classics and the like, which was not what Wu Zheng wanted to read, but when he thought that since he had already come here, if he didn't even know these as a reader, wouldn't he really become a stupid bookworm in Xiang'er's heart?
When I opened a copy of "Analects", I saw that there were no punctuation marks in the books of this era, but it was difficult for Wu Zheng, because when he was in the army in his previous life, he read a lot of Tang and Song poems to cultivate his sentiments, and from time to time he would write a few big characters and make a few limerick poems.
In addition, he was still the king of soldiers in his last life, and the people who can become the king of soldiers are all top-notch people, they all have a strength and hatred in them, they are the king of soldiers in the army, and this ruthlessness in the literary world can also make them become a champion in the literary world, but Wu Zheng doesn't want to be a literary champion, he just wants to make up for some of the schoolwork that stupid nerd accepts.
If there is no punctuation, mark it yourself!
found Xiang'er and asked her to go to Liu Wen to ask for some pen and ink, and in the following days, Wu Zheng stayed in his small building to read books in addition to going out to run and play Tai Chi every morning.
For others, Wu Zheng is now hiding in the house all day long and reading books, that is what he should look like as a stupid nerd, or in line with the stupid nerd in their hearts.
Time flickered and it was another month, in this month, the village was calm, Song Fei'er was desperately refining her knife in the bamboo forest every day, and occasionally when a caravan passed under the mountain, she would also go down the mountain with Liu Mang to fight the autumn wind, as for Zhao Yi, except for the last time when he was stopped by him on the way and chatted a few words, Wu Zheng has never passed him in the past month.
Xiang'er has been a little nervous these days, and asked her what's wrong, but she said that He Lao Wu's wife is about to give birth, which makes Wu Zheng a little confused, He Lao Wu's wife is going to give birth, what does it matter to her little girl? Even if anyone is afraid, it must be some man in the village! What is she afraid of?
After chatting with her for a while, I realized that she was afraid that He Laowu's wife would not be able to give birth to a child, and in this era, medicine is backward and cannot do a caesarean section.
To put it bluntly, she is scaring herself, because she is also a woman, and she will have this day.
Wu Zheng has never given birth to a child, so he doesn't know how to enlighten this little girl, but he can scare people to death if he scares himself, even if he is not scared to death, it is not good if he is scared out of illness!
So Wu Zheng decided to scatter Xiang'er's idea to try, so Wu Zheng took a little time out of his reading to tell her a story every day, about Mr. Jin Yong's Condor Heroes.
This trick really worked, and this maid was full of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu in her mind from now on, and she no longer had time to think about He Lao Wu's wife giving birth.
During this time, Wu Zheng also read the four or five books sent by Seinfeld, although it was not enough to memorize them through, but if someone told him about the sentences in these books, he still knew which book and which one it was from, and he could associate the upper and lower sentences, for the things written in the book, in addition to the original annotations on the book, he also had a little bit of his own understanding, in short, it was no problem to chat with people.
On this day, Wu Zheng sorted out the books he had read, and then planned to go to Liu Wen again to see if he could change some maps or historical records and other books to come back.
As a result, as soon as I got out of the room, I met Xiang'er.
"Uncle, have you finished reading the book?"
Wu Zheng nodded, glanced at Xiang'er and said, "You maid shouldn't stay here all the time!" ”
"That's right! I've been waiting for my uncle to come out and tell Xiang'er about my aunt! After my uncle's little dragon girl and Yang Guo were poisoned by love flowers, what happened to them? ”
Wu Zheng touched Xiang'er's head and said with a smile: "Want to know?" ”
"Hmm!"
"I'll tell you when I get back."
"But ......" Xiang'er's speechless appearance looked a little funny, and asked, "But what?" ”
"But Miss wants to know too!"
"Miss? Did you tell her about it? ”
Xiang'er nodded and said: "What my uncle said about this aunt is really good, so Xiang'er couldn't help but show it off in front of Miss, but as a result, Miss has been telling her about her aunt every day in the past few days." I'm still waiting for my aunt! Can you finish before leaving? ”
"Well...... this"
Just when Wu Zheng was about to hang the little girl's mouth, there was a sudden commotion outside the courtyard, which sounded as if something had happened in the village.
After a while, Seinfeld, who heard the commotion, also walked out of the opposite building, and she also heard what Wu Zheng and Xiang'er said outside just now, and this time she couldn't help but blush when she saw Wu Zheng opposite, but it quickly returned to normal.
Then she asked Zhu Si, who was guarding the door, "What happened to Zhu Si being born outside?" ”
Zhu Si poked his head out of the doorway below and said, "If you go back to the big boss, I heard that it seems that He Lao Wu's wife has a difficult birth." ”
"Difficult to deliver!"
Hearing this, Seinfeld and Xiang'er couldn't help but be surprised, and when Xiang'er was still stupid, Seinfeld on the opposite side had already hurried downstairs and ran out of the courtyard.
Xiang'er, who woke up, also immediately chased out: "Miss, wait for me......"
Wu Zheng looked at the book in his hand, and if he wanted to change the book today, he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to change it, so he put the book back on the desk and planned to take a look.
Zhu Si downstairs ran early, and when he came to He Lao Wu's house, there was a lot of noise in front of his house, and almost the people in the whole village came, and the trees on the wall were full of people, and I didn't know if it was to see the heat or if it was really why Lao Wu's wife was worried.
