Chapter Ninety-Six: Books Are the Ladder of Human Progress

"Okay, cousin, you can say it, I'll listen to you." Li Bei nodded solemnly.

"Well, you go and try it first, and I'll tell you what to do when it's done."

"Big Niu, the competition has begun, why don't you go first?" Bai Jinli, as an adult in the little radish head, consciously became the temporary referee.

"Okay." Da Niu nodded, walked over and rolled up his sleeves, and took two more sipes into his palm, then leaned down and began to hug the stone.

However, even with the strength of milk, he did not move half a centimeter of the stone, but tired himself to the point of blushing and thickening his neck.

"No, no, I want to rest first, Li Bei, you come."

"I ...... Okay. Li Bei glanced at Bai Jinli, but found that Bai Jinli was looking at her with a smile, so she had to walk over and try.

It was clear that she had failed.

"Since neither of you has moved, then give you another chance. This time, you can use all the things you are carrying, whoever can make that big rock move, who is the winner today, do you have an opinion? Bai Jinli asked.

"Is anything fine?" Da Niu asked.

"Yes."

"Okay, I'll try it first." Da Niu nodded and waved to his companion.

The boy behind him suddenly walked over, and the big bull muttered to him, and then the two boys stood on both sides, trying to move the two of them together.

However, it still failed.

They tied the stones with ropes and pulled hard, but they could not pull them.

After several unsuccessful attempts, Da Niu finally said discouragedly, "Okay, I really can't move." ”

"Xiaobei, did you remember what I told you just now?"

While Da Niu was trying, Bai Jinli had already told Li Bei the way she had come up.

"I remember it clearly." Li Bei nodded affirmatively, and then walked towards the stone.

At this moment, everyone was staring at Li Bei, except for Bai Jinli, they were all very curious, what kind of method did Li Bei, a girl, want to use to shake such a big stone.

I saw Li Bei first pick up the slightly smaller stone next to it and put it near the big stone.

Then, he picked up a sturdy stick from the ground next to him.

Then he placed the stick between the big stone and the small stone, and the small stone moved a little towards the stick.

She pinched the end of the stick and pressed it down hard.

With a bang, the big boulder not only moved, but also rolled in a circle.

"Great, successful!" Li Bei was very happy, and all the little radish heads were also dumbfounded.

They all didn't understand, such a heavy stone, obviously couldn't be moved, Li Bei's little girl's house, just used a small stone, a stick, so easy to move the stone?

What the hell is going on?

"Cousin, what you said is really good, thank you."

Li Bei is a child with clear grievances in the end, and after personal examination, he found that the method Bai Jinli said was true and effective, so he sincerely thanked him.

"You're welcome, the main thing is that you are smart and have mastered the essence of the method I said."

Hearing Bai Jinli praise her like this, Li Bei was even more happy, and her little face was also red with excitement, looking very cute.

"What's the matter, Da Niu, still don't admit defeat and call me eldest sister?"

"Okay, I'll admit defeat, Sister Bei!" After Da Niu shouted unwillingly, he looked at Bai Jinli and asked.

"It's just, this ...... What the hell is going on? ”

"To put it simply, it's called the lever principle. To borrow a phrase from a great man, give me a fulcrum, and I can pry the whole earth.

As for the specifics, this is a matter of physics, and you don't need to know too much. Bai Jinli explained simply.

"Oh." After listening to it, Da Niu was really even more confused.

"If you're curious, you can go over and feel it for yourself." Bai Jinli.

"Well, I'll try." Da Niu walked over and tried it using Li Bei's method.

Sure enough, it took much easier than he had used to pry such a large stone away.

"So, books are the ladder of human progress. Okay, you're done with the competition, you can go and get busy, right? ”

"Uh-huh, what do you want me to do, cousin? I listen to you. Li Bei nodded frantically.

"Not to dig wild vegetables? Let's go, let's go together. ”

"Okay."

A few people said goodbye to the big cow and walked a little deeper inside.

The wild vegetables that Li Bei and the others dug are gray gray cabbage, also called gray Liaotou grass, which tastes very good when used for cold dressing.

In addition, a number of wild leeks were cut.

Bai Jinli took a step first, and found fungus and mushrooms here.

She called the three of them over, told them how to distinguish poisonous mushrooms from non-poisonous mushrooms, pointed to the location of the fungus, and then asked them to pick more.

After the competition, Li Bei already had an inexplicable trust in Bai Jinli.

So Bai Jinli told them that these two dishes could be eaten, and when they went to pick them, the three of them didn't even ask, and obediently did so.

When going down the mountain, Bai Jinli asked casually: "Li Bei, what news has been in your village recently?" Or rumors about the mountains? ”

"No, what's wrong cousin?"

"It's okay, let's go back."

The four of them returned with a full load. Fang Clan watched them come back together, and they got along quite well, and they also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Xiaobei, why did you pick mushrooms and fungus today, isn't this thing poisonous?"

"My cousin said that the ones we picked back are not poisonous and can be eaten." Li Bei said.

"Well, aunt, don't worry, I've learned how to identify mushrooms from books, and I've taught them. We used to eat it a lot when we were at home, and we were sure to be fine. ”

Hearing Bai Jinli say this, the Fang clan also relaxed a little.

"By the way, Pear, go in quickly, that Zhong Zizhang is looking for you."

"Looking for me? Okay, I'll go in and have a look. Bai Jinli turned around and walked into the courtyard.

At this moment, Zhong Zizhang was wearing a fast court uniform, with a knife pinned to his waist, and was talking to Mrs. Li and Li Aicai in the courtyard.

Seeing Bai Jinli coming in, she stood up and said hello to her.

"My lord, why are you here?"

"White girl, you don't have to be like this, I'm nineteen this year, how old are you, just call me Brother Zhong."

"Okay, Brother Zhong, what is the matter with you coming over today?" Bai Jinli didn't refuse, and said with a light smile.

"I'm here today mainly to thank you, White Girl."

"Thank me for what?" Bai Jinli said she didn't understand.

"That's the case, didn't I press that goddess to the county government yesterday, the county lord interrogated her on the spot, and found out that she was still related to our previous case.

Moreover, she is also a very important role in it.

Not only that, but according to our case file, she has killed several people in the same way you said that day, and all of them are using the pretext of divine punishment.

Now that she has been caught, the county magistrate said that I had made a great contribution, gave me a reward, and promoted me. ”

"Now, I'm the leader of the fast catcher." Speaking of the last sentence, Zhong Zizhang was obviously a little embarrassed.

"Congratulations, Brother Zhong!" Bai Jinli opened her mouth sincerely.

"This is mainly due to you, Bai Girl, I told the county master all this, and the county master praised you."

"Oh, by the way, this is a reward from the county magistrate. I thought that I didn't take any credit anyway, and the main credit lies with you, so I'll give you these rewards. As he spoke, Zhong Zizhang handed over a red cloth bag.

In the red cloth bag was lying quietly a string of large money.

"No need, since the county magistrate rewarded you, you can take it." Bai Jinli refused with a smile.

Li Aicai and Fang Shi, who walked in later, saw this, and their eyes were a little straight.

With so much money, why did Bai Jinli refuse without thinking about it? Isn't she stupid?

That Zhong Zizhang said well, the main credit is Bai Jinli's.

Zhong Zizhang was able to pick up a credit for nothing, and he was promoted, which is already very remarkable.

"No, I've already been promoted, and this money must be handed over to you to collect. Otherwise, I really don't want to go, white girl, you don't have to excuse yourself. ”

"That's it, I'll take half of it, and you can take the rest to Chongxi and his mother for treatment." Bai Jinli is not shirking.

"Well, I was just about to discuss this with you. I heard that you beat Chongxi and his mother, it's quite serious, what's going on? Zhong Zizhang asked.

"What else can I do, that woman doesn't know what to do, and wants to bully my pears." Mrs. Li snorted.

"Zizhang, that's it......" For fear that Mrs. Li would say something strange again, Li Aicai hurriedly opened his mouth and told the whole story.

"I see. Miss Bai, you didn't do anything wrong, you really rejoiced that his mother was indiscriminate, I will go over and see it myself later, and I will give her the money, you ...... What a kind person. ”

"Huh! Then I'm sorry for you, Brother Zhong! Bai Jinli smiled faintly.

She's kind?

If Zhong Zizhang saw her kicking and flying that day, I am afraid that he would not say so.

Anyway, it is an ironclad fact that she partnered with Mrs. Li to beat Chongxi's mother and was injured.

"It's not troublesome, it should be!"

"By the way, Brother Zhong, I'll ask you about something. Is there a case of a child missing from the government recently? Or is it related to banditry? ”

"How do you know? The above just sent an official letter to various villages and villages this morning, and they are talking about this matter.

They suspect that the child's disappearance is related to the bandits. What's the matter, do you have any clues? Zhong Zizhang asked with some urgency.

The loss of the child is a top priority for their county, and even the above is alarmed.

The county magistrate is now anxious to get angry, if he can't solve this case as soon as possible and find the bandits and those missing children, they are afraid that they will also be implicated.
