Chapter Seven: Wood Show in the Forest
The night is getting late, and the March sea breeze is cool.
After the morning, although the cultivation during the day was a little harder, I finally managed to stay up until dinner time at night. Practicing the chaotic wave technique, both men and women need to control their body to less than 60 kilograms, especially at night food is the most important, Zhi Ning and others eat most of the food at night are some green vegetables, tofu, brown rice and other meals. Some of the original young ladies couldn't swallow it, but some children from poor families who couldn't even eat it also ate with relish.
After the unitary hour every day, everyone will practice some chaotic wave handouts with the master, which sounds very simple, but it is really a layer of meaning to be integrated. Although Zhi Ning had heard some about the origin of the Chaotic Wave Technique earlier, the fur of the later generations could not be compared to the current time when the Chaotic Wave Technique was in full swing. Fortunately, she has been a good student since she was a child, and these days she stays on the island like a marionette, and she has to do whatever others tell her to, and it is easy to have some "novelty" sounding academics, even if it sounds good to relieve boredom, and it is better than those vegetarian foods.
There was a shocking scene in the evening class: although the rest of the teenagers understood the superficial interpretation when listening to the meaning, they did not know the truth in any way, and one by one they listened to it in the rain and fog, but it was a mute girl who looked thin and sat in the corner listening to the master's explanation and nodded her head, and her mouth still made a hum-huh harmony from time to time. This made the old man who had been aware of the group of rotten wood that could not be carved for a few days. Over the years, the habit of standing on the left side of the bookcase has also changed to the right side in order not to block the girl's view.
This small action was just a fleeting move in the eyes of Zhining, a person who was used to being taken care of by teachers in later generations. But in the eyes of the rest of the teenagers, especially the girls who had clashed with Zhining in the morning, this was Zhining's deliberate means of acting in front of the master.
Zhining, who was already immersed in the handouts, didn't know that his unintentional actions had brought a new wave of jealousy to himself.
But in any case, the magic that has been almost lost after hundreds of years seems to have a new inheritor that can be found in the chaos of this plane and plane.
………………………………………………………………………
At night, Zhi Ning sat alone outside the house looking at the waning moon in the sky, thinking about what she had seen and heard in the past few days, she shook her head helplessly, and when she was arranging the ends of her hair with her right hand, she suddenly felt that someone seemed to be looking at her behind her, and she was about to turn around, a pair of small hands tightly covered her eyes, and a pretending old girl's voice came from her ears: "Guess who I am?" If you can't guess, tell me your secret. Zhi Ning's heart was shocked, his body suddenly tensed, his throat moved and he was about to speak in response, when he suddenly remembered that he had never talked to anyone since he landed on the island, and immediately took back the words that he had just said to his mouth. Leaning sideways, he was trying to use his hand to pick up the little hand that was covering him, and the light appeared in front of him. I only heard the person behind me sigh and said: "I forgot that you can't speak, and I let you guess who I am, stupid." ”
When Zhi Ning turned his head to look, it was the delicate girl who was by her side in the morning, although she had never heard her mention her name, but she heard the girls who lived in the house jokingly called her by her name: Red Bean.
Seeing Zhi Ning looking back at her, Xiao Hongdou immediately squinted and laughed, leaving only a slit between her eyebrows and eyes, and the white moonlight shone on Xiao Hongdou's face, like a noodle doll made of white face, looking delicate and cute.
"Third sister, look at the way they look like they are going to eat people in the morning, they are stupid and don't let others eat enough, you don't care about them, and give me food, I support you." After that, he raised his little fist like a tiger, as if he was angry for Zhining, his face was flushed, but his eyes smiled into a slit again.
"This little girl is still playing with me, but her face is red before she finishes speaking." Zhi Ning smiled in his heart, and his face did not show any expression. Recalling the scene when only this child walked out of the courtyard with himself at the end of the day, Zhi Ning gestured and said: Tomorrow, you, follow me, I will teach you, and you will eat.
Xiao Hongdou saw Zhining's gesture, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he was about to cheer, but his little face turned red again, and he hurriedly pretended not to understand the meaning of Zhining's sign language. Zhi Ning smiled lightly and gestured twice, Xiao Hongdou seemed to finally understand the meaning, in response, Xiao Hongdou pointed at Zhi Ning, and then pointed at himself, and made a gesture of hugging with both hands. This somewhat inaccurate gesture stunned Zhining, who knew sign language, and she tentatively took a step forward, only to see Xiao Hongdou take three steps and two steps, and suddenly jumped up and hugged Zhining, and laughed happily. It turned out that Xiao Hongdou wanted to tell Zhi Ning that we were friends, but when the words came to his mouth, he felt that speaking inevitably hurt this dumb friend, and some couldn't speak, so he had to use sign language to express his meaning.
The two of them hugged each other at about the same height, and Zhi Ning was a little stiff at first, but gradually relaxed his body: this is my first friend, and it is also the first time I have been hugged in this world, and it seems to be very warm? It turns out that it's so simple to make friends as a child.
When I returned to the house, the lights had been turned off, and Zhining and the girls lived in a big bunk, which could accommodate more than 10 people on the horizontal bunk. Zhi Ning walked to his bed, but saw that someone was already lying in the place where he slept on weekdays, and he listened to a slight cry, and it seemed that he had been sleeping in his place for a long time.
Zhi Ning stood in the dark center and thought: "Although I don't get along well with anyone in this house, but I also get along with each other on weekdays, and there has never been such a thing in the past few days, but since this morning, Li Yunlan and others began to target me, and the other people in this room have also been a lot colder to me, I said why these people just fetched me water one by one, I thought I had figured it out, it turned out that I poured a lot of water with effort, and when I came back, I didn't even know who slept on my bunk when I turned off the light, it seems that tonight they wanted to drive me out to sleep." Give me a dismount. ”
Zhi Ning was thinking about it when he heard a surprise voice from the left-hand side: "Hey, how can I have two pillows here?" ”
"It turned out that they threw my pillow over there." Zhi Ningxin said.
This time, she didn't deliberately slow down, walked straight to the edge of the red bean, patted the red bean with her hand and put her hand to her mouth to make a silent gesture, took off her shoes and socks twice, and lay down on the side of the red bean.
Hongdou was also well-behaved, quietly watching Zhining get into the quilt, and then gently pasted Zhining's side, and quietly asked in Zhining's ear: "Sansan sister, why did you come over, this pillow won't be brought by you, right?" ”
In the quilt, Zhi Ning took Hongdou's hand and gently wrote in Hongdou's palm: I, bed, someone.
Although there were only four characters written, Hongdou immediately understood the meaning of Zhining. The body that was still curled up in the quilt just now was shocked: "Third and third sisters, they are too bullying, can't others be better than them?" ”
Hearing this, Zhi Ning gently patted the red bean on the shoulder, yes, in this era, you can show that you are not stronger than others. Even if it's in a child.
In the quiet air, Hongdou didn't know if he calmed down in Zhining's comfort or figured out something, and sighed heavily.
In the dark, Zhi Ning nodded silently to the red bean. Didn't speak again.
The moonlight secretly shone in a trace of white light, reflected on Zhining's face, maybe Hongdou saw Zhining's nod through this glimmer of moonlight, and sighed again, and the two looked at each other speechlessly.
Xu was tired for a day, and the two children soon fell asleep in the eyes of each other
At this time, in the third room where Shen Shiyi lived, a group of teenagers were excited because of the results of today's practice, and the time in the room had arrived, but the teenagers did not feel tired at all. Except for Shen Shiyi, who had been reprimanded by Zhining at night to be cautious in his words and deeds, and another teenager who didn't like to talk to people on weekdays. All the teenagers in the room have passed the morning exercises, and the sad faces of the other teenagers in the room when they think of the evening exercises make the minds of the teenagers who have been restrained for days come alive again, and the lights in the room have been blown out, but it does not affect the nature of the teenagers' conversations at all.
In the dark, only a young man who had not changed his voice said excitedly: "Thanks to Brother Axi's family was a military household before, and his family trained this kind of skill in the army, we can all successfully complete our morning work today. ”
Another teenager lowered his voice and flattered the words: "Yes, yes, my family is a doctor." It was useless at all, and the uncle didn't take a good look at the concubine of the official master's family, so he was directly imprisoned and killed. It's better to be a military household, if I was a military household, I would have fought with those dog officials. Since then, I will follow Brother Axi, and one day I will definitely be able to get ahead, by the way, I heard that Brother Axi's family was originally a hundred households in the army. ”
The young man's family called Ah Xi turned out to be just a small leader of the local village soldiers, and because he had defiled the military salary issued, he was sent to southern Xinjiang to serve as a hard laborer. The Ming Dynasty implemented the household registration system, if the father of the family is a military household, the family will be a military household for generations in the future, and Axi's father was assigned to southern Xinjiang less than 6 years old Axi has to inherit the military household registration and then go to the top of the army to vacancy, but how can there be such a young child in the military camp as a soldier, and there is not even a high gun during training. Fortunately, the village soldiers do not need to go to the battlefield on weekdays. After the daily training, the villagers began to be idle, and the ones who liked them couldn't learn, but the bad ones learned very quickly, and they followed the old soldiers all day long, and from time to time they took some things from the treasury and secretly sold them. One day, a veteran said to Ah Xi that he wanted to go home to visit relatives, and asked Ah Xi if he wanted to go together, Ah Xi, who had long been tired of staying in the barracks, nodded again and again, and walked for a few days to a ferry, and the veteran asked Ah Xi to get on the boat first to buy some flour cakes, and Ah Xi, who saw the sea for the first time, hurriedly boarded the boat, but what he didn't expect was that the veteran took a small bag of copper coins from the boatman, but never came back. Ah Xi was deeply ashamed of his experience, and when the teenagers asked, they only said that his father's army commander was killed in battle, leaving him to be picked up on the island. Knowing how to cut bamboo is just that I have seen veterans cut bamboo to make fires in the army, and Ah Xi follows to know how to identify the yellow and tender bamboo. The young man just now heard Ah Xi say that he was originally the commander of the army, and under flattery, he naturally raised a few steps to become a hundred households.
All the teenagers responded one after another, and the strange island seemed to have found the backbone.
After everyone had been talking for a long time, Ah Xi cleared his throat, and the young men hurriedly stopped talking, only to hear Ah Xi say: "Listen to me, in my opinion, these people must have a plan to take us captive to this small island, let's practice hard first, and then contact our respective villages on weekdays, and when the time is ripe, we will find a way to grab a few boats and escape back." ”
"Okay, okay." The boys responded for a while. Immediately talked about the way. Only Shen Shiyi and the silent boy looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
A soft sound slid across the eaves, like the wind blowing through the eaves tiles.
