Chapter 53: Lost and Found
It was already a watch day when he arrived in Shenhe Bay, and Xiao Hai was worried that it would be unsafe for Xiao Zheng to return to the village alone, so he escorted Xiao Zheng home. As soon as they entered the hospital, Xiao Mu and Jin'er, who came out to greet them, were startled, only to see a lot of water marks on Xiao Zheng's body, and some sludge stuck to his body, Xiao Hai carried a big box and followed in from behind.
Xiao Zheng didn't speak, quickly closed the courtyard door, called the three of them into the main hall and closed the door again. Xiao Zheng's nervous performance also affected Xiao's mother and Jin'er, the three of them looked at Xiao Zheng and didn't speak, they mentioned the box, Xiao Zheng now has no bottom in his heart, this thousand years have passed, God knows if this box has been worn out by time and changed into a pile of waste.
I pressed the surface of the box with my hand, and it felt like the strength of my previous life, and I had a little bottom in my heart. Let Xiao Mu find a few clean cloths and start to gently wipe the surface of the box, as Xiao Zheng slowly wiped off the sludge on the surface, the high-grade aluminum alloy on the surface of the box reflected a silver light under the light of the candlelight, Jin'er covered her mouth and said speechless in surprise after seeing it, while Xiao Hai looked at the box and his hands were shaking.
After cleaning up all the sludge on the surface of the box, the edges and corners of the box were even more brilliant under the reflection of the candlelight, and stabilized his mind, Xiao Zheng reached out to the switch password of the box and pressed it, only to hear the "click" The box lid bounced up, and there was no water in the box. The other three were speechless in astonishment when they looked at these things.
"Haha, ha......, don't ......", Xiao Zheng just wanted to laugh out loud happily, but Xiao Hai covered his mouth all of a sudden. Xiao Hai covered Xiao Zheng's mouth and said: "Brother, you are crazy, you are laughing like this in the middle of the night and be careful to let others hear, I don't know any of these things, brother, but brother I know, this box alone is not an ordinary treasure in the world, let alone these silver things in the box, you be careful."
Xiao Mu was also surprised and said, "Zheng'er, where did you and Xiao Hai find such treasures, what did you and Xiao Hai do in Chang'an City?" ”
calmed down his excitement, Xiao Zheng looked at his mother and said, "Mother, these treasures were given to me by Master", and continued with some regret: "If there is these medicines, Master's illness must be cured."
Seeing Xiao's mother's surprise, Xiao Zheng continued: "Do you remember the dream that the master told you about the first seven children, at that time the child couldn't figure out what was going on, and then the master came a few times in the dream, and I also dreamed of these things in the dream, he told the child that the things in this box are not valuable treasures, but things that cure diseases and save people, and the child has dreamed of the master several times one after another, and he taught the child how to use these things, and then I have never dreamed of the master again." This time, when Brother Xiao Hai and I entered Chang'an City, we passed by the place where Changjie Monk rescued me, and somehow remembered the dream at that time, so I asked Brother Xiao Hai to go down and take a look, I didn't expect to really fish this thing out, otherwise how would the child know that there are some immortal things under the water of this Baqiao."
After the three of them listened, Xiao Hai slapped his thigh and said, "What I said, you and I were both standing there at the time, how did you recognize that there was something under the dragon's head." Xiao Mu and Jin'er burst into tears after listening to Xiao Zheng's words, Xiao Mother said to Xiao Zheng: "Zheng'er, it seems that your teacher can't let go of you, in the past, Huangshi taught Zhang Liang in the Han Dynasty, and now your master is estimated to want to pass on what he has learned to you after he becomes an immortal, and after he dies first, he will come to teach you the skills you have not learned, you must not expect to remember your master's great kindness." After finishing speaking, he took Jin'er and Xiao Zheng to the portrait of Li Wenbo, burned incense and respectfully bowed, and even Xiao Hai knelt down behind him.
Seeing that the second watch was wrong, Xiao Zheng didn't let Xiao Hai go back to Lizhuang, Xiao's mother cooked some food for the two of them, and after eating, the three of them came to the medical box again, and after opening the box, Jin'er wanted to reach out and touch these shiny things inside, but was quickly stopped by Xiao Zheng. Many of the surgical instruments in the box are sterilely sealed, once they are opened, they will definitely not work with the current environmental conditions, Jin'er didn't say anything after listening to Xiao Zheng's explanation. Xiao Zheng personally put the box away, and told the three of them not to talk nonsense before resting.
After a few days, after giving lessons to the children, he came to Li Zhuang to find Xiao Hai, Xiao Hai looked at him a little wrong, Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Brother Xiao, don't look at me with adoring eyes, or I will be proud of my brother, I can find you this time to have something." The two of them arrived next to the shack built by Zhang Shun while talking, and they could see that Xiao Hai was good to dozens of people, and the children's faces were no longer colorful, and they were running and chasing near the shack.
Zhang Shun took more than a dozen young people to make adobe with mud, and more than a dozen stacks of sun-dried adobe had been stacked on the side, apparently preparing for the construction of a house. In the distance, two or three hundred acres of wasteland have been reclaimed, because of the missed farming time for planting millet, the newly opened wasteland is fertile and barren, but first planted Qiao Mai to raise the land, Zhang Shun saw the two of them come over and put down the tools in their hands and brought two young people to greet them, and when they arrived at the adobe, Xiao Zheng said to Xiao Hai: "Brother Xiao, in a few days I will bring you the picture of their house, this time we have to build a house more generously, or not afraid of spending money, and last time we filled the box with gold oil was too laborious, When I think about it, I will see if I can change the production method, and we will build this house as soon as possible, and we are counting on the help of the villagers."
At this time, Xiao Zheng suddenly found that Lao Zhang Shun was a little speechless, so he asked Zhang Shun: "Old man, do you have anything to ask?" Zhang Shun saw Xiao Zheng ask like this, and said a little stiffly: "Mr. Xiao, dozens of us thank you for your kindness, now this house is also ready to be built, and this land has been reclaimed, it stands to reason that we should also thank you for your great kindness, but the little old man can't stand the pleading of the villagers, I want to ask for others, am I a tenant or a farmer here for you?" ”
After listening to this, Xiao Zheng immediately understood the old man's thoughts, don't think that the difference between a tenant and a farmer is just a word, the nature of this place is not a big deal, if it is a tenant, all the property in this family belongs to the master's family, and life and death can be in the hands of the master's family. But if it is a farmer, then there is land and land and it is up to them to have the final say, and it is no wonder that these individuals muttered in their hearts, just opened a few acres of land, and they are afraid that they will be robbed by others, and these dozens of people are afraid of being bullied.
Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng asked Zhang Shun to call these dozens of people over, and said to everyone: "Folks, you people have been harmed by others to live here, everyone is an honest farmer, I Xiao Zheng has no idea of taking advantage of the fire to rob, Brother Xiao Hai wrote in black and white when he got the approval of the government, that is to say, this land is everyone's, I will not snatch a grain of grain from everyone's mouth, not only do we not collect everyone's rent, and after a while the house is built, we will ask you to help with the work." , but this work is not done in vain, and I have to pay everyone to start work, and I Xiao someone is a talker."
Old Zhang Shun heard that Xiao Zheng did not accept everyone's rent, and his eyes were full of gratitude and a little incredible, with his experience, he really didn't know that there were such people under the day, but anyway, he knew that he had met a good person.
After listening to Xiao Zheng's words, Lao Zhang Shun turned his head to the crowd and said: "Do you understand, the two Mr. Xiao are good people, we will still be farmers in the future, we have met nobles, if anyone does not work well in the future, I will not agree to be the first one!" After hearing this, everyone shouted, "Good! Then he dispersed and went on with his work.
Xiao Zheng saw that the crowd had dispersed, so he casually asked Zhang Shun: "Old man, are there any people among you who can burn bricks?" ”
