"Aunt Yinyue, doesn't this soft-shelled turtle live in a stream, how did it climb to the mountain?" Gong Changyu bent down and grabbed the back shell of the soft-shelled turtle.

"Yes. Maybe there is no food in the water? Yinyue replied casually.

"Mother, the fish is delicious, and the stewed soup is delicious." Rong Sen poked the turtle's head with his finger, and the guy shrank his head into the carapace with a "hula".

"I know how to eat, let me ask you what is the effect and function of this clump of fish?" Yinyue tugged at Rong Sen's ear.

"It's not hard for my ......." Rong Sen scratched his head, "Tuanyu, the scientific name is turtle, and it is full of treasures." Its head, nails, bones, flesh, eggs, gall bile, and fat can all be used in medicine. According to the "Famous Doctor's Directory", turtle meat has the effect of tonifying and invigorating qi. According to the "Compendium of Materia Medica", soft-shelled turtle meat has a variety of effects such as nourishing yin and nourishing the kidney, clearing away heat and stasis, strengthening the spleen and stomach, etc., and can treat night sweats, yin deficiency and yang hyperactivity, backache and leg pain, diarrhea for a long time, and epilepsy in children......"

"Son, it seems that you have been studying for a few years, and you have not read in vain." Yinyue said with a smile.

"These are all taught by my grandfather." Rong Sen shook his head and said, "If you and Erniang eat more soft-shelled turtle meat, I will have a few more little brothers......"

"It's been more than thirty years since I was a mother...... The younger brother can only count on you Erniang Lanping. Yinyue said with a wave of her hand.

"Okay. When I go back tonight, I will disembowelment this soft-shelled turtle and make up for you and Erniang. Rong Sen said as he turned the soft-shelled turtle upside down, but the guy still didn't move, his limbs were straight, and he pretended to be dead!

Gong Changyu on the side pressed the tail of the soft-shelled turtle and shouted: "Auntie, you see that this group fish is a female, maybe it came to the mountain to lay eggs." ”

Yinyue took a closer look, and sure enough, it was a female turtle, and there was still some fine sand on its claws, which should have been left behind by the shaved sand soil that had just spawned. She believes in Buddhism, and the little life that is automatically sent to her eyes has aura, and she has a fate with herself, and killing at will is not good for her family.

She touched the belly of the soft-shelled turtle and said, "The soft-shelled turtle hatches the eggs - the light is taken across the mountain." After laying eggs, the soft-shelled turtle covers the eggs with sand, and then finds a place to squat, looking at their covered eggs from a distance until the hatching of the baby soft-shelled turtle. If we catch this soft-shelled turtle back, what should we do if the little soft-shelled turtle has no mother in the future? ”

"Mother, it's okay. Baby soft-shelled turtles don't need to be taken care of by their mothers, they will forage for food on their own as soon as they come out. "Rongsen didn't want to let the turtle go.

"Little soft-shelled turtles also need mothers' relatives, they have their own natural enemies. If you are too young, you will not have a mother, it will be difficult to grow up, and it will be very pitiful. After Yinyue finished speaking, she glanced at Gong Changyu, "Old learner, you often catch soft-shelled turtles, are you right?" ”

"Hmm. The little soft-shelled turtles and their mothers will be happy together. Gong Changyu nodded.

Yinyue was very happy to see that Gong Changyu did not object to letting the soft-shelled turtle live, and she asked Rong Sen to let go of the hand holding the female soft-shelled turtle: "Sen'er, let it go." ”

So Rong Sen let go of his hand, the female turtle turned on all fours, flipped a few times, and lay on the ground again, it slowly stretched out its head in place, turned its little eyes, vigilantly observed the surrounding situation, and made sure that there was no danger, before stepping out of its stubby limbs and crawling towards the grass. Before it could sink into the grass, the female turtle turned her head to look back for a long time, as if to say, "Thank you, thank you." ”

On weekdays, he catches soft-shelled turtles in the stream, but Gong Changyu didn't pay attention to these, but he once saw a soft-shelled turtle in a soft-shelled turtle nest. After he caught the big one, he touched it again, and found that there were still a few small soft-shelled turtles crawling in the nest. He couldn't bear it, and put the big turtle in the basket back into the nest, of course, that was the only time he released it.

Now that Aunt Yinyue suddenly asked him this question, he didn't know very well. He has been away from his mother for several years, fostered in his uncle's house, although everyone in the Zhu family compound is good to him, but Si'er's anxious mother is still not at ease, depression has become ill, in May a stormy night has died, Gong Changyu became an orphan overnight.

After sending off his mother, he never shed a single tear, and vowed to live strong and not let others see his jokes, although he secretly went to the bull market bridge from time to time to watch the big and small fields. In the casino, the money came too suddenly, and it went too suddenly, nine out of ten bets were lost, and one was watching the loss (the dealer drew profits and won steadily).

Thinking of this, Gong Changyu's nose couldn't help but be sour, without his mother, he didn't want to go back to that home in Baishui Village. It's just that grandma is still there, and she only goes back three or twice a year, which can be regarded as filial piety, with the care of the clansmen and the help of her uncle, grandma is quite passable, healthy and healthy, and she doesn't have to worry too much.

"Why is fate so unfair, only grandma and me are left in the Gong family?" Gong Changyu muttered to himself.

"Old learner, what are you talking about?" Yinyue noticed Gong Changyu's depressed mood.

"It's nothing, I'm thinking about my deceased mother again." Gong Changyu replied in a low voice.

"Old learning, don't think about it too much, it's your aunt who is not good, and it makes you feel sad." Yinyue comforted Gong Changyu and said.

In order not to make Gong Changyu feel lonely and lonely, he has always treated him as his own son, and he will eat whatever Rong Sen eats. As long as he is free, he will personally teach Gong Changyu martial arts and the art of war, and occasionally teach him the way of doing business and the truth of life.

"Auntie, I'm ......" Gong Changyu stopped talking.

"If you have anything to say, just say it." Yinyue said.

"I want to go to the Qianzhuang in Chenzhou with you to be a buddy and learn to do business." Gong Changyu took off the fish basket on his waist.

"This ...... I'll have to talk to your uncle about it, because money is not an ordinary business. Yinyue hesitated, Gong Changyu had no culture, and he was too honest and honest, so he went to Qianzhuang to do things, but he was afraid that it would be difficult to adapt for a while.

"Auntie, are you worried that I won't be able to bear it? What I have is strength. Gong Changyu said with a suffocation.

"When dealing with silver and copper, in addition to being flexible, you also have to have a lot of scheming. Your uncle is a scholar and too pedantic, and if it weren't for my help inside and out, the money bank would have closed down long ago. Silver Moon sighed.

"I see that after my uncle took over Qianzhuang, his business has prospered a lot more than the year before last, how can I say that he is not doing well?" Gong Changyu seems to understand whether he understands or not.

"The business of the money village is getting worse and worse, and after the imperial court and the eagle strike Li signed a peace treaty, foreign goods poured into my Qinghe country. The trade profits of the major trading houses have fallen, and the value of silver has been constantly depreciating, and our money banks have suffered serious losses. Yinyue shook her head, "In order to retain his old customers, your uncle insisted that the interest rates on silver deposits and loans remain unchanged, and the silver bills and silver can be exchanged freely......"

"Auntie, I don't know anything about what you said, you have to teach me more in the future." Gong Changyu could only bow his head and listen, because he didn't know anything about the operation of the bank.

"Old learner, you are not suitable for business, you should learn martial arts well, and when you grow up and want to join the army, just talk to your aunt." Yinyue said with a smile.

"Mother, I also want to join the army with my eldest brother." Rong Sen was so happy that he chanted a poem, "Why don't you take Wu Hook and collect Guanshan Fifty Prefectures?" ”

"Come on, Sendi. It's very hard to be in the army, and the horse leather shroud is too miserable, so you should break this idea as soon as possible. You are timid and afraid, it is better to study at home, take the exam, return to your hometown, and fight for the old Zhu family. Gong Changyu looked serious.

"Big brother, I admit that your martial arts are not as good as you, you are charging ahead, I can give you advice behind the scenes, and you will win all battles." Rong Sen pouted, without the slightest intention of admitting defeat.

"You two little guys, do you think it's so fun to join the army and fight?" Zhu Qimu, who had been smoking a dry cigarette and was silent, said with a smile.

"Dad, classical Chinese is so brain-burning, especially the "Book of Songs", "Book of Changes" and "Book of Songs", I have been reading it for three or four years, and I still don't fully understand it...... It's the Taigong Art of War and the Sun Wu Art of War, I have memorized them all backwards. Rong Sen squinted his eyes and looked at Gong Changyu with an angry look, "Big brother, do you want to hear me recite a few articles?" ”

"No, even if you recite it all, I don't understand." Gong Changyu said with a smile.

"Okay." Rong Sen was like a deflated ball, drooping his little head.

"Child, it's not enough to just memorize the art of war, the key is to comprehend the ability to use it in actual combat. Soldiers, treacherous ways. Since ancient times, the use of soldiers is like a god, and it is better to be proficient in the common sense of soldiers, so as to respond to all changes with the same, and never deviate from its origins. Those who dare to use dangerous tactics must have superhuman features...... "Zhu Qiroom gushed endlessly," it is not impossible to talk about the army on paper, the battle of Changping in the past, Zhao Kuo's quick battle and quick decision had to be made, and it was the national situation of Zhao State. Including surprise troops, directly disturbing the suburbs of Xianyang, King Qin Zhaoxiang poured the strength of the country ......"

Zhu Qimu is a talented man, when it comes to the art of war, it is all in classical Chinese, which makes Yinyue very impatient and said: "Shaodong, the two of them are children, can they understand your art of war?" ”

"I can't." Zhu Qimu smiled.

"Then you don't shut up yet." Silver Moon raised her eyebrows and glared at him.

"Mother, I can understand, let Dad continue." Rong Sen is still unsatisfied.

"Uncle, I don't understand. Not enough for you to say wonderfully. Gong Changyu told the truth, "It would be nice if it was changed to vernacular, and I could understand everything if I explained it like an aunt." ”

"Did you hear that, Grandma Yinyue? The old school made me change my style. "I wish the opening room is too much.

"Today we are here to see the crops, not to listen to your talk. Let's go, go to the pond and see the black rice rice! Yinyue took Rong Sen's hand and walked forward.

Zhu Qi's room saw that Yinyue went first, so he didn't talk about the art of war. Gong Changyu followed behind him, pondering what his uncle said just now.

"Old learner, the Eagle Strike Li 4,000 Infantry Army and my Qing Dynasty fought with the National First Army, fought for more than two years, and finally Emperor Daoli gave up resistance, do you know the reason?" Zhu Qishu asked Gong Changyu.
