Chapter 408: Eager to learn
After listening to the story told by Lei Ming, Tan Xiaotian finally understood why there was such a big difference in the other party's attitude towards himself before and after, the so-called love Wu and the house, Lei Ming was so good to himself because he was grateful to Boss Qi for saving his life back then, and he was also a white mouse in front of the Buddha, and he was stained with Boss Qi's light.
Since the relationship has been climbed, the little black house naturally does not need to go, it is a place to close meat tickets or punish subordinates who make mistakes, Tan Xiaotian is a child that Boss Qi likes, needless to say, he is also a guest of Boss Lei, and here, Boss Lei's words are holy decrees, even more effective than holy decrees, because if you don't listen to the words of Emperor Lao Tzu, as long as you are not caught by officials, you will not be punished, but if you don't listen to Boss Lei's words, the next second the big ear scraper may be slapped on your face, So at dinner, the big head and others saw Tan Xiaotian sitting next to Lei Ming eating and drinking, talking and laughing, although they felt very depressed, they had nothing to say, at most they complained behind their backs, but no one dared to express their dissatisfaction in person.
Life on the mountain is very monotonous, there are not many entertainment activities, so three meals a day when eating becomes the most lively time in the cottage, except for the people standing guard, almost all people are concentrated in the largest room in the cottage to eat together, the meals are very simple, flatbread, wild vegetables, stewed wild boar, flatbread wild vegetables in general, wild boar meat is rarely eaten by ordinary people, that is, they live in the mountains people will eat it as a staple food every day, but green vegetables and grain are more rare. Most of the wine drunk is fruit wine made from wild fruits grown in the mountains, the wine is not strong, sweet and sour, even Tan Xiaotian can drink a bowl, as for Lei Ming and a few important leaders in the cottage, they feel that the taste of this fruit wine is too light, and it is not as enjoyable as boiled water, they drink sorghum wine bought from the winery under the mountain, although the quality of this wine is far from the real good wine. But for those who are addicted to alcohol, it is better than good, but the road from the bottom of the mountain to the mountain is not easy to walk, and it is not very cost-effective to transport the wine to the mountain, so there is not a lot of stock on such a wine mountain, and only a few important chieftains are usually eligible to enjoy it.
After eating, many people did not leave, cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and some people took their best and began to play with money, Tan Xiaotian didn't want to participate in this kind of gambling activity, so he got up and left his seat. Going to leave.
"Hey, every day, where are you going? It's dark outside, be careful not to fall. Lei Ming, who was eating and drinking with a few other people, noticed Tan Xiaotian's actions, so he stopped and asked with concern - life in the mountains is different from that under the mountains, daily life materials are relatively scarce, and candles and lamp oil for lighting are among them, so after dark, most people like to get together. On the one hand, it is lively, and on the other hand, it is also to save candles, otherwise it will be dark when you go back to the place where you live, and there is nothing to do except sleep.
"I want to go back to reading." Tan Xiaotian replied.
"Reading?. Oh, you mean those two books that I found in the warehouse in the afternoon? Hehe, those two books are already yours, and you can read them however you want in the future. Why are you in a hurry for a while? Knowing the child's thoughts, Lei Ming said with a smile that he couldn't play chess. Naturally, I don't think the two chess books are so important, it is written in black and white, as long as the books are not lost or burned, and they are not dropped into the water, what you see tomorrow and what you see today are not the same thing? The two books were lost here by Tan Xiaotian's aunt three years ago, and three years have passed, so do you need to be in a hurry this night?
"It's too noisy in here." Tan Xiaotian shook his head, even if he didn't read, he didn't like to stay in this kind of place where he drank and played money, especially when he was drawing a fist order, one voice was louder than the other, as if the competition between the two sides was not about the speed of the shot, the rapid change, but who was more imposing.
"Uh, hehe, yes, there are no children in this cottage who can play with you, big head, take Tian Tian to my house, he will be late to me tonight." Lei Ming said with a smile, he knew that his gang of people were rough people, Tan Xiaotian was a good reader and a good learner, and it would only be boring to leave the children here, so it was better to let Tan Xiaotian do what he liked, as for letting the big head take Tan Xiaotian to his room, it was because the oil lamp in his room was stronger than the candles in other rooms.
"Yes, Boss." The big head who was gnawing on a bone heard the thunderous instructions, although he was a little reluctant, but he had to put down the bone and leave the big house with Tan Xiaotian, the sky was very dark, the mountains were high and dense, and the wind was gusting, blowing the flames on a torch on the stake in the open space flickering, giving people a treacherous feeling, the big head had long been used to life in the mountains, and he didn't feel anything, but Tan Xiaotian couldn't help but be scared in his heart, and subconsciously walked two steps quickly, clinging closely behind the elder.
Sensing that the child was afraid, the big head smiled and said, "Little guy, what's wrong, are you afraid?" ”
"Hmm." Tan Xiaotian nodded.
"Hehe, I thought you had a lot of courage, but it turned out that you were also a coward, where was the ruthlessness that bit me during the day?" The big head teased - the injury on his hand was not very serious, but the pain was really painful, and the injury was his usual hand, wrapped in a thick bandage cloth, it was inconvenient to do anything, otherwise it would not be enough for other people to start playing with money, but he was still struggling with a bone.
What does this have to do with boldness. If you kick my book to the ground, even if I am afraid, I will fight with you. Tan Xiaotian argued.
"Well, listen to what this means, do you think you should bite me this bite, and I was bitten for nothing?" Raising one of his hands tied like a brown child, he asked angrily.
"Well, now it looks like it may have been in vain." Looking at the opponent's injured hand, Tan Xiaotian replied with some pity - because of the relationship with Boss Qi, Lei Ming will no longer use him as a meat ticket to extort money, the so-called thieves are also thieves, the people in the green forest regard the law of the country as nothing, but they attach great importance to the morality of the rivers and lakes, Boss Qi is his savior, if he takes the child who is familiar to Boss Qi to exchange for money, if he really does this, what face will he have to see Boss Qi in the future? And if the ransom is not credited, the reward of the big head will naturally be gone. (To be continued......)
