Chapter 1 I Came from Heaven
At sunset, Lin Zhaoqing suddenly heard the baby's giggling when he passed by the bamboo forest where he had to go home, thinking that he had hit a ghost, so he quickly quickened his pace, but the more he walked, the closer the laughter became, Lin Zhaoqing thought that the thing was coming up, so he stopped and hurriedly stretched out his hand, "God bless, Lao Qing, I haven't done anything bad!" ”
Lin Zhaoqing looked around a little panickedly, and suddenly caught a glimpse of a baby under a green bamboo, Lin Zhaoqing walked in and took a look, the child stared at him with a smile in his eyes, giggling.
"Child, why are you still laughing when you were left here?" Lin Zhaoqing looked at the baby's clear eyes, and hesitated, the child was placed in this deep mountain and old forest, it must have been abandoned, but his family was not rich, although he had no heirs, but the family's income depended on him going up the mountain to chop firewood in exchange for money, and his wife usually did some needlework in exchange for some scraps of money to make a living. If the child is adopted, the burden on the family will have to be increased.
Lin Zhaoqing sighed, put the bun cake his wife put for him in the cloth pocket, and turned to leave.
I saw the baby purr and roll its eyes, and sighed, and after a while, it giggled again.
It turned out that Lin Zhaoqing felt that his conscience couldn't get over it halfway and came back, and secretly said: "If I put you here, maybe I will be eaten by the jackals in the mountains, and our conscience will always be unbearable." With that, he picked up the baby and went home.
At home, his wife had already prepared a meal and was waiting for him to come home. "What is this?" Wang Peizhen looked at the child her husband was holding.
Lin Zhaoqing told his wife what happened.
"That is the case, it must be destiny, let's adopt it, besides, this child has an extraordinary temperament at a glance, I have never seen such a laughing child." Wang Peizhen took the child, and teased the baby in her arms with some love, she had no children under her knees, so many daughters, although the days would be harder in the future, she would be happy.
"Okay, let's work hard, let's work hard, God gives you a gift, don't dare not accept it. But children must have a name, what is the name? ”
"This kid is naturally happy, it's better to be called Lin Wuwu." Wang didn't read any books in his early years, and he thought about it for a long time before he slowly said a sentence.
Lin Zhaoqing nodded, "Such a young child must have to rely on milk to survive, I'll go to the neighbor's house to change some milk." ”
After feeding the milk, Lin Wuwu smashed his mouth and slept very satisfied. Wang saw that Lin Wuwu was sleeping peacefully, so he went to the loom to make a few clothes for Wuwu.
The days passed, and in a blink of an eye, Lin Wuwu had passed the age of babbling, Lin Zhaoqing and his wife planned to apply for a school for Lin Wuwu, but the school did not recruit female babies, and the tuition fee of this copper coin also stumped the couple.
"Dad, mother, don't waste this money for me, if I want to learn something, I can remember it by going to the library and reading it a few times. What's more, my daughter doesn't have the heart to study, what I want in my life is to travel the world, enjoy the scenery of mountains and rivers, and the warmth and coldness of the world. Four or five-year-old Lin Wuwu held an iron sword that he found out of nowhere, and waved it lightly a few times, but the sword wind swept the trunk in front of him coldly, leaving a few deep marks.
"What nonsense is this kid!" Lin Zhaoqing was a little angry, turned his head and said to his wife: "Our child is smart and smart, but it's a pity that it's a female baby, if it's a male baby, let's make up her tuition fees for anything, and maybe she can enter the office in the future!" ”
Wang thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Look at our girl's baby, she looks very delicate, and she can't see a man or a woman, and we don't have much contact between neighbors, and I don't know if this baby is a man or a woman, but we picked it up, why don't you pretend to be a boy and sneak into the school?" ”
Lin Zhaoqing frowned, "It's okay to be young, but when I'm older, I'm afraid I'll be discovered." Hey, you make me think again. With that, he turned around and went into the house, leaving Wang to call the old hen to peck at her.
Early the next morning, Lin Zhaoqing got up early and went to his second brother's house, wanting to borrow some coins, and seemed to have made up his mind to enroll in a school for Lin Wuwu.
By the time Lin Zhaoqing went home again, it was already dusk.
"Why are you so late today?" Wang hurriedly warmed up a meal for her husband.
"Alas, my second brother's wife, Wei Ningdi, was afraid that I would not repay the money in the future, so she insisted that I remove the weeds in her yard before letting me go, saying that she would pay it back a little in advance."
Lin Wuwu sat on the other side of the table and didn't speak, but he remembered this woman named Wei Ningdi in his heart.
"Dad, I'll go with you to the mountains tomorrow to chop wood." Lin Wuwu took a sip of soup.
"You little child, you can't cut what to do with me." Lin Zhaoqing was a little relieved and said with a smile.
"Dad, I can hunt, and when the time comes, I can hunt some game and sell it down the mountain, so I think I can pay off my tuition and subsidize my family."
Lin Zhaoqing was amused by Xiao Wuwu's words, "You are a four or five-year-old child, you can't even catch a hare, how can you hunt something?" But on second thought, the kid probably just wanted to go to the mountains to play, so he agreed.
Early the next morning, Lin Zhaoqing took his daughter to the back mountain, Lin Zhaoqing took an axe, Lin Wuwu also changed into a boy's costume, and carried the bow and arrow that had been hanging at home for a long time on his back.
Wang Peizhen didn't allow Lin Wuwu to be like this at first, she was afraid that the bow and arrow would be too heavy, and Lin Wuwu's small body could not move, but when she saw Lin Wuwu pick up the bow and arrow effortlessly and skillfully carry it on her back, she had to give up, and secretly said in her heart, this child is really a gift from God?
"Don't worry, you can play here, Daddy, I'll go over there and chop some firewood."
Lin Wuwu nodded, and after his father left, he looked around. She found a nest of hares along the animal's droppings, but the hare was too small to sell for a fee.
Perhaps the hares should be glad that they are still young, but the boar, which is about to become a fine boar, can only consider itself unlucky.
After hunting, Lin Wuwu was about to go back to find his father, when he suddenly heard the frightened cries of children in the woods.
Lin Wuwu put down the wild boar tied up with five flowers and went to check, only to see a horned girl waving a wooden stick, trying to drive away the big snake in front of her.
Lin Wuwu calmly pulled out the short blade in his sleeve, walked to the female baby, the short blade pointed directly at the big snake three inches, only to hear a loud sound, accompanied by the scream of the strange female baby, the big snake that was still majestic just now fell to the ground in an instant.
The strange girl looked at the child in front of her who was not much taller than herself with some shock, and was stunned, and when Lin Wuwu planned to leave directly in the spirit of doing good deeds without leaving a name, the girl asked in a low voice: "Brother, what is your name?" ”
Lin Wuwu turned his head when he heard this, opened his mouth and smiled brightly, revealing a mouthful of big white teeth, "Lin Wuwu." "Although the black hole with a tooth missing in the middle looks a little out of place.
The little girl's face was flushed, "My name is Hou Xiaoqin, where are you from, little brother?" ”
"I came from heaven." Lin Wuwu said that, turned his head and left.
Hou Xiaoqin was a little stunned and stood in place.
