Chapter 2: The Chicken Thief
Han Jian didn't want to be a freak, but in the eyes of a woman in the Junwang Mansion, he was a freak.
Soon after Han Jian was born, his aunt and maid found that he couldn't cry, and he couldn't laugh no matter how funny he was. Unable to cry or laugh, such babies are basically defined as "fools". But what Xiao Han Jian does on weekdays is not stupid.
Every time Han Jian wants to urinate, he will "feed" the maid twice, and at first the maid didn't know what he was going to do, and when he got used to it, others knew that as soon as he "fed", he had to change a new diaper.
Although Han Jian can't cry or laugh, he seems to be very "empathetic", always listening with his ears pricked up when he hears what others say, and often sighing and talking to himself. He learned to walk before he was a year old, and he was already staring at a book before he could speak, and his various appearances were very much like a little adult.
What makes a woman even more puzzled is that Xiao Han Jian is actually a picky eater!
The reason is that Han Jian changed his nurse when he was one year old, and the newly found nurse in the house didn't eat no matter how he fed him, which made the aunts and maids at home very anxious. In the end, Han Jian himself couldn't help it, he was "ugly", and the women in the family were shocked, is this the reason for Xiao Han Jian's hunger strike?
Later, when the house selected a nurse, it had to go through Xiao Hanjian's check. Only the nurse selected by Han Jian's fingers is willing to eat milk.
After changing the nurse, Han Jian's appetite was slightly better, and when he was two years old, Han Jian's original nurse gave birth to a daughter, and then came to the palace as a nurse, and his appetite gradually became normal. At this time, he had begun to like to eat rice porridge and pickles. Although he often does not digest and has diarrhea, he still eats very vigorously.
By the age of three, Han Jian began to "babble", and gradually called his aunt, and walked around the yard when no one was around. The women in the family were very happy, because it showed that Han Jian was not only not stupid, but also very smart. By the age of four, Han Jian had often sneaked out of the palace gate to "make friends" outside.
What Han Jian thinks is that even if he can't develop a few fox friends for adulthood, he must find a few playmates so that his childhood will not be lonely.
Han Jian is the king of the little county, and there are always some good things in his hands that will attract children outside, such as maltose.
"Now, I ask you a question, and which of you answers well, there is candy to eat. If you don't answer well, step aside! ”
When he is surrounded by a group of children who are a year or two older than him, he will act like a godfather and use his own methods to ** these children to join his "sect".
"Do you say, Is the earth under our feet square or round?"
A group of children, you look at me, I look at you, and it's clear that this is a problem beyond their understanding. For some ordinary children who are four or five years old, play is the most important thing, who cares about this?
"Yes...... square. At last a voice came out of the children's pile, and when it spoke, it was very sure, "The sky is round, and the earth is square under our feet, so the earth is square." ”
Han Jian was very happy, and finally he was no longer alone.
A boy of five or six years old, with a big basin, came out with a runny nose and a harsh face, dressed in shabby but very clean clothes.
"Wrong, it's round." Another voice rang out, "My dad said, under our feet, it's a ball." ”
Another kid stepped forward, looking the same age as Han Jian, not tall, dressed in white, the clothes on his body were very fine, and he carried a wooden sword, like a hero from the wandering side.
Ruan Ping and Sima Yi are the names of these two children, and they are also the best friends Han Jian met with maltose, and they followed him until later.
Ruan Ping is an orphan who was adopted by a teacher when he was an infant, so he urinated into his bookbag since he was a child, he is not stupid, but he recognizes death. In Han Jian's opinion, this kid was too poisoned by Confucianism.
Sima Yu has a great background, and his father is Sima of Jiangdu, the general in charge of the army in one place. And Sima was determined to be a swordsman who walked in the world since he was a child, so he ran in Jiangdu City since he was a child, saying that he wanted to "do chivalrous righteousness".
Since they met, the three friends often ran out to play secretly, and Ruan Ping was always in the mouth, which made Han Jian so annoying that he couldn't be annoyed anymore. And Sima Yi always took a wooden sword to practice the sword in a troubled manner, with red lips and white teeth, and he was undefeated in the East wearing an open crotch pants version.
By the age of seven or eight, the three of them had already begun to gang up to do some "stealing chickens and touching dogs" in Jiangdu City.
Every once in a while, at dusk, the three of them would run to a poor farmer's alley in the west of the city, and outside a fence made of fences, they saw a big yellow dog "Wangwang" barking from afar. The three of them were not afraid when they saw the big yellow dog, they went directly through the fence, Han Jian threw a piece of meat and bone forward, and the big yellow dog immediately picked it up, and wagged its tail very flatteringly.
"Hey, rhubarb is strong again." Han Jian touched the head of the big yellow dog, and the tail of the big yellow dog wagked even more happily.
Sima Yi ran to the chicken coop at the entrance of the courtyard, opened the chicken coop and lifted the chicken inside. At this time, although Sima Yi was only eight years old, he was already skilled.
Han Jian saw that the "prey" was in his hand, and waved his hand to beckon: "Withdraw!" ”
Ruan Ping, who was on the side, widened his eyes and said, "This ...... What if it's an old hen that lays eggs? ”
Han Jian directly kicked Ruan Ping to steal the chicken, whether it was an old hen that laid eggs? The cockscomb has grown to the belly of the chicken, and you don't recognize it as a rooster?
When the three of them got out of the fence and were happy to escape, the big yellow dog still gnawed his tail while gnawing on the bones, as if he was bidding farewell to three old friends.
As if remembering something, Han Jian stopped, took out a small bag from his arms, and threw it into the yard.
When they ran out, before they reached the entrance of the alley, they heard a shrew-like voice from behind them: "Which one is the one who kills a thousand knives to steal chickens?" ”
Hearing this, the three boys ran into the bushes by the river, fetched firewood, picked up daggers and firecrackers, and went about to barbecue.
"Sima, you fetch water and mud, Ruan Ping, you are responsible for plucking and disemboweling."
"Okay." Sima Yi has already started.
And Ruan Ping looked unhappy: "What about you? ”
"I'm in charge of lighting the fire."
An hour later, a mud egg wrapped in lotus leaves was pulled out of the soil, and the three friends were about to enjoy the food, and a delicate little girl trotted all the way to the three of them with small lotus steps, wiping her sweat. Although she is only a six or seven-year-old girl, she is already bright.
"It's not too soon, it's not too late, it's just right." Han Jian got up and greeted, "Wen'er, sit, I'm about to eat." ”
"Uh-huh." The little girl was younger than the three of them, but her eyes were very bright, and she sat beside her with her knees hugged, while Han Jian had already smashed the clay shell called the chicken with a stone, and the smell of meat was overflowing for a while.
The three of them feasted, while the little girl ate very little, Han Jian ate a chicken leg in a few bites, clapped his hands, and said, "Wen'er, you take it back in a while, and give it to your mother." ”
"Uh-huh." The little girl nodded happily.
The little girl is the owner of this chicken, and she is not unhappy when she sees her chicken being eaten, but she is very happy. The main reason is that Han Jian came to steal the chicken in the name, but he paid for it, and the money he paid was far higher than the value of a chicken.
Han Jian has a lot of connections with this family, which starts with Han Jian's "picky eater" when he was a child.
The little girl's mother, Yun Niang, was Han Jian's first nurse. Although Yun Niang treats people fiercely and has the demeanor of a housewife, she is very good to Xiao Han Jian, and she is beautiful, so Han Jian is very attached to her.
Yunniang's family is not good, her husband is sick, she can't do heavy work, her mother and her husband's family are ruined, and after she gives birth to a son, she can only rely on being a nurse to support the family. Later, he was selected by Xiao Han Jian with his fingers and became the nurse of the palace.
Yun Niang has been Han Jian's nurse for more than half a year, and she has no milk, so she can only go home with regret. In order to vent his dissatisfaction, Han Jian went on a hunger strike for a day in protest.
Later, Yun Niang gave birth to her daughter Wen'er, and came back happily to continue to be a nurse. In the palace, the food and drink are good, and there is a high salary, Yun Niang can't wait to come back early.
It's a pity that after half a year, Yun Niang's resources have dried up again.
This time she went home again, her husband died of illness, and there was no more milk, and the family fortune has plummeted since then. Later, even her eldest son died, with a drag oil bottle, and no dowry, so she couldn't get married, leaving Yunniang and Wen'er's mother and daughter to rely on each other.
Han Jian grew up and knew the situation, so he helped Yun Niang's mother and daughter in the way of "stealing chickens", every time Yun Niang raised the chickens, and waited for the three boys to come and steal them. Secretly and secretly, even the rhubarb at home has established a deep friendship with the three boys.
"Wen'er, the palace chooses a maid, you go. In the future, you make money and feed your mother. Han Jian helped Wen'er wrap the chicken, and instructed before leaving.
"I ...... All right? ”
"Okay, I'm here, who says you can't?"
This year, Han Jian was eight years old, and Wen'er was only six years old.
