Chapter 21: The Book Thief (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation!) )
The fifth sister-in-law often said to Dong Mei'er that she must not take other people's things indiscriminately, stealing things for nothing, which makes the owner annoyed, and she can't feel at ease when she uses it herself.
If you pick up something on the ferry, no matter how delicate it is, how valuable it is, and how much you like it, your mother will put it away and return it to someone when the owner takes the boat again.
If the owner never comes again, he will ask someone near the family to send it over, as for whether the entrusted person is worthy of the mission, the fifth sister-in-law has no way to verify, and she can't stay on the boat anyway.
Mom said that the Tan family, especially can't be associated with such a reputation.
It's not clear in the first place.
People on land always feel that the Tan family is a thief.
Because people on land live in one place all year round, they interact with a fixed group of people, they are used to fixed affairs, they live on the land under their feet, and they feel that it is challenging to come into contact with anything unstable.
The Tanka family is adrift all over the world and has no fixed place to live, which in their eyes is an incredible instability. They feel that the Tan family is used to stealing chickens and dogs, and they don't have to be responsible for anything.
Because you can change places with one shot.
This kind of fluidity is the best cover.
This mobility is also a source of discrimination and rejection against the Tanka family on land.
Of course, Dong Mei'er didn't dare not listen to her mother's words, naughty elsewhere is naughty, if such a thing is committed, her mother will turn her face.
But after the big tail will fly, there are really too many opportunities to tempt her like this.
There are a lot of things hanging on the outer edge of Tando's boat, bacon, dried fish, mushroom skewers, anyway, all kinds of good things are carried by sticks on the side of the boat, hanging far away. If the people on the ship can't reach it, the people on land can't touch it.
But the big tail will fly, and when it skims lightly on the water, these fragrant good things are really too easy for it and Dong Meier to make mistakes.
People on land will hang all the good things outside the window, which is also a meaning, and people walking on the ground can easily reach it, except for their own house to open the window and get it back, outsiders have not folded.
But the big tail will fly, and the trick of hanging out of the window is like sending it to its mouth.
There are two kinds of thieves, one is the thief who picks the door and presses the lock, and the other is the thief who flies through the wall and the window.
If you want to be a take-off thief, Big Tail is really well deserved.
It's literally flying up to the sky with its feet off the ground!
Flying into the window to steal a book is not a piece of cake.
The difficult thing for Dong Mei'er is that Master Sun knows that he is missing a book, if he is discovered, what will happen to the follow-up?
Sun was annoyed, but he felt that if he could enter the study, even if he had a ninety percent chance of winning, as for the lack of a book, this would be easy to do, he would bring a similar one and stuff it in. As long as the spine looks the same, the father should not be aware of it.
I was bored in my study, and I flipped through a few books of different thicknesses in my arms, planning to find a suitable size to put in and replace them when I found an ancient book.
Dunzi thought about it and felt that it was not appropriate.
He took all these books, poured them with strong tea, and then slowly dried them by the fire, folding, pressing and rubbing, so that the original flat and new spine became yellow and hairy.
Annoyed, the kitchen prepared whitebait soup early, and now it is simmering on the stove in the bedroom, and it is already full of fresh fragrance. He took out a few of them from a delicate white porcelain plate, and with a flattering smile, pushed down his big tail.
Big Tail meowed as a sign of gratitude, and he feasted on it, and ate it with great pleasure.
Annoyed and used a small bowl, and served a bowl to Dong Meier and Dunzi, he had already seen that not only did Big Tail love to eat whitebait soup, but these two children were also greedy, but they all endured saliva and were embarrassed to say it.
I'm annoyed and don't understand it, so it's just a gluttonous fish soup, Dong Mei'er, a child of the Tan family who eats fish all day long, why can't she drink enough whitebait soup?
How would he know that Dong Mei'er was blessed with a big tail and his blessings, and only drank the little whitebait soup for the first time, and the little whitebait caught before was either sold by his mother or fed to the big tail.
The so-called Qiluo people are not silkworm breeders, which is probably what it means.
Everyone was full of food and drink, and the big tail carried the three children, and took off from the terrace in the night, and flew towards the window of Sun Quanmou's study.
The five courtyards of the Sun Mansion were all lit with lanterns, but it was late at night, everyone was asleep, and the entire Sun Mansion was quiet.
Sun Quanmou's residence is in front of the ancestors, because this building is the most magnificent, the hall on the first floor is a bright conference living room, so as the living room of the long house uncle.
My father's bedroom was on the second floor and his study was on the third floor. In fact, if you walk from the inside, you can see the plaque with the inscription written by Master Ge, hanging high outside the door of the study, dignified and clumsy three big characters - Library Pavilion.
Dong Mei'er let the big tail fly to the outside of a north window on the third floor and stopped, this side faces the mountain, there are few houses, and then they gently push up the big window.
This large window is finely carved and pasted with snow-white window paper, and no matter how the three children push or pull, they will not move at all.
Sun's annoyed face was not very good-looking, and he muttered, "Isn't it locked from the inside?" Why don't we come back tomorrow night, and tomorrow I'll find a way to get in and open the lock?" ”
"Pull it down, you can go into the study, just take out the book, why don't you use us to come back at night?" Dong Mei'er couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Dunzi thought for a moment, untied a thin, sharp-pointed knife from his waist, gently slid it down the gap between the two windows, and carefully slid it up and down, and sure enough, he touched a latch.
"Sister Dong, you let the big tail steady, I'll pick a few and try it!" Dunzi whispered.
"Alright!" Dong Mei'er gently rubbed the ears of the big tail, and the big tail was sensibly suspended in the air, as if standing on the ground.
The pier has his ears against the window, and he holds a knife in his hand, and moves it up and down flexibly.
After a cup of tea, my forehead began to sweat, and I only heard a click in the window, and then the two large windows slowly opened outward.
The big tail flew in through the window silently, and landed on the ground impatiently, it had to rest well, hanging motionless in the air, it was really tired.
As soon as he entered, he tiptoed to the ground when he was annoyed, and gently ran to a sandalwood bookshelf in the innermost part of the study, the workmanship of this bookshelf is different from others, it is extraordinarily exquisite and luxurious, this is a place he has been yearning for since he was a child, hiding his father's most cherished rare books, of course, there is also a collection of books given to him by his brother Yaozu, just take out a book, all of them are father's treasures, speaking of which is simply a number of family treasures, completely without the official authority of the past, and never tire of it.
The annoyed person is not tall, so he started rummaging from the bottom, Dong Mei'er is illiterate, can't help, and Dunzi doesn't know what to find, so he also accompanies Dong Mei'er to wait with her big tail.
The moon was turning little by little from the eastern sky to the west, and the two children were about to fall asleep with their big fluffy tails, when suddenly, a suppressed exclamation woke them up—
"I found it! Ahaha, I found it! A small thin face was so excited that it was deformed, waving a book in his hand, and happily ran towards the big tail.
