"Worm, worm, get out. ”

Some honest little boys answered and walked out of the door quickly.

Seven or eight boys of the same age outside the door saw him and immediately rejoiced.

A young man with clear eyebrows and neat clothes lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "Recently, a lot of outsiders have come to the village, all of them are inquiring about the stone monument in the mountain, we have thought of a way to make money, you come and join us." ”

The official name of the little insect is Wang Chong!

Because of the homonym of the insects, it is called a small insect by the friends in the village, and it is a nickname with a lot of intimacy.

The little worm's honest face was stunned, and he asked in a daze: "If you have any way to make money, just do it! Why do you have to call me? You all know that my mother is very strict, and it is impossible to play with you." ”

Several teenagers immediately laughed, and kept squeezing their eyebrows, but the young man with clear eyebrows preemptively said: "We don't want you to sneak out, as long as you draw a map of where that stone tablet is, we will sell it to those outsiders, and it won't take any trouble." ”

The worm shook his head and said, "I don't know what a stone tablet is. If you want to make money, you can go, my mother wants me to memorize articles, and I don't have time to play with you, so I will go back first. ”

The little worm waved his hand and retracted into the door of his house, and several teenagers looked at each other without thinking, and looked at the young man with clear eyebrows together.

The young man with clear eyebrows couldn't help but curse a foul word, beckoned, gathered everyone together, and said in a low voice: "At the beginning, the white-bearded old man took us to the mountains to see the stone monument, and now we can't remember the way in, but the little worm has the ability to never forget, he must remember." ”

A tall boy couldn't help but ask, "Little worm refuses, do you have any other way?" Besides, we don't remember, and he may not be able to remember. ”

The clear-eyed young man shouted angrily: "Those people in the village claim that they are willing to pay a few hundred taels of silver to ask someone to lead the way, do you know how much a few hundred taels of silver is? Your family has not been able to accumulate enough in ten lifetimes to buy most of our village." ”

The tall young man was silent for a while, and asked curtly: "What should we do?" Ye Jiu'er, you have a lot of ideas, think of an idea, let's go get those outsiders' silver." ”

Ye Jiu'er thought for a while, and suddenly slapped her thigh and shouted, "I have a way, you come with me first." ”

These teenagers hula, and in a blink of an eye, they disappeared, and the front of the little worm's house was cold again.

The little worm supported his ears slightly, and when he heard that the people outside were gone, he couldn't help but be a little distracted. He was born a little honest, and when his mind didn't belong, he was a little dumbfounded.

"That white-bearded old man took all the young people of the village to the mountains, and let us read the inscriptions. Those inscriptions are so weird, they are not the current writing, and everyone doesn't know any of them. When the white-bearded old man saw that we didn't know the words on the stele, he was angry and wanted to kill us, but for some unknown reason, he let everyone go. ”

The worm's hand suddenly trembled, and a chill came from the bottom of his heart, bursting out of his bones with deep fear.

At that time, everyone's life and death were hanging in the balance, and the danger was tight, and he didn't understand why the children in the same village didn't remember what happened when they came back.

So the little worm didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore, and would rather use the excuse of reading and politely refuse the friends in the village.

He returned to his study and sat at the desk where he usually reads. There were thirty-six pages of rice paper on the desk, each one filled with odd words in small letters. Relying on his ability to never forget, the little insect remembered all the inscriptions he had seen that day, and wrote them down silently when he returned home.

He didn't talk to anyone about it.

Looking at these dozens of rice papers, the little worm was in a daze for a moment, he had read it many times, and also found the ancient books at home to compare, but he still couldn't make out a word.

After reading these words for a long time, there is a faint power to bewitch the mind, which is very strange.

The little worm heard the sound of footsteps outside the door, and hurriedly threw the inscription into the brazier, making it look like he was reading seriously.

After a short time, Wang Chong's mother, Wan Wan Tingting, walked out.

Although his mother is ugly, she has a good demeanor, and she has the demeanor of everyone in every move, and she feels comforted when she sees her son studying hard.

Wang Chong's mother was also from a large family, and when she was a girl, she was famous for her poetry and books in the township, just because of her ugly appearance, although she married a scholar, her husband was also born in the imperial examination, and she went all the way from the county order to the squire, but the husband and wife were quite discordant.

After giving birth to a son, because her husband repeatedly took concubines and rarely came to his room, Wang Chong's mother simply asked her husband to return to her hometown to guard the old house, and everyone ended up clean.

Wang Chong's father agreed and sent their mother and son back to their old house in the countryside.

Wang Chong's mother served her in-laws, tidied up the house, and taught her son, which was quite a housewife, but she didn't care much about the princess who was an official in the court.

It's just that she always has a sullen breath in her chest, and she expects her son to get ahead and fight for herself, so the teaching is quite strict, and Xiao Worm is usually most afraid of her mother's anger.

The little insect reads diligently, and has a good natural memory, but whenever he reads, he can never forget it, and he can memorize it backwards after reading it three or five times, although he looks dull because of his dull temperament, but he is actually a talented child.

The mother knew that her son would have a good future, and he would be able to be named on the gold list nine times out of ten in the future, so she was not in vain for her own teaching, and she was happy but also a little worried.

Some time ago, all the children in the village were taken away by a white-bearded old man who didn't know what strange spell he had cast, and went to see what inscriptions he had done.

Although they were all sent back again, and the children were fine, they were in a uproar, and she was very worried that something would happen to her son.

The mother looked at it for a while, and suddenly said: "Chong'er, you are also twelve years old now, and you have already won the show, you should go to the township next year to take the exam, and my mother plans to send you to the academy to study." ”

The little worm was taken aback, got up and shouted, "How could my mother think of sending her son away?"

Mother sighed and said, "The incident a while ago really scared my mother, and then there is an old man with a black beard, an old ghost with a yellow beard who arrested you, and you don't want to live for your mother." ”

The little worm shook slightly, and suddenly had nothing to say.

His mother paused for a moment, and then said, "There have been many outsiders in our village recently, and they all want to inquire about the stone tablet." I don't know where the stele came from, but it's not a good thing after all. It would be a great mistake for these people to know that you children had come to look at the stele and come to trouble you. I've arranged the carriage and I'm ready to go today. When you leave, take the crescent moon with you to be a personal maid, and then bring the six sons to be a scholar, and the two of them will take care of you, and you will be relieved to be a mother. ”
