The days of recuperation are very boring.

In ancient times, when there was no special medicine, runny nose and nasal congestion and sneezing accompanied Hua Qingxue for a long time.

Fu Tingye remembered what Lu Zhengqing said, sent all kinds of supplements like water every day, and personally stared at Hua Qingxue to eat them.

Since it is a tonic, of course, it is not a delicacy, and the taste is usually not very good, but Rao is so, and it is much better than the Chinese medicine prescribed by Lu Zhengqing.

Fu Tingye also came up with a way to strengthen his body, that is, to walk along the outer courtyard wall of the annex twice a day in the morning and evening.

This annex is very ...... It's very big, and it's still a little tiring to walk around the wall twice.

Fu Tingye said: "When you get used to it, you will increase the number of laps in the future." ”

Hua Qingxue: "......" You still know how to do it step by step.

Fu Tingye said solemnly: "If the speed is faster, it will not work out if it is too slow." So far, the man has moved forward.

Hua Qingxue gritted her teeth and barely followed.

Fu Tingye's speed was not fast, but his steps were big, and one step was worth two or three steps of Hua Qingxue, and Hua Qingxue followed him for a while, and he was so tired that he was out of breath.

But the effect is also significant.

After walking in circles, Hua Qingxue had a particularly good appetite for lunch that day.

Usually she eats very little, I don't know if it is because she eats too many Chinese medicine supplements, she always feels that there is no taste in her mouth, but today she ate two bowls of rice, and she had a rare nap for an hour after the meal.

After Hua Qingxue woke up, she thought to herself, I don't know if I can get fit and healthy, I can't get fat.

At dusk, while the autumn heat was still there, she continued to walk around the wall.

Fu Tingye went to be busy with official business, not in the other courtyard, this time it was Huan'er and Xi'er who accompanied her.

Xi'er is still young, chattering, bouncing, and lively along the way.

In fact, Hua Qingxue doesn't like to be too noisy, but this courtyard is too big and too quiet, and Xi'er's liveliness just adds a little vitality here.

When she walked to a place, she heard the sound of a child reading aloud, and Hua Qingxue was slightly stunned.

Huan'er said: "Mr. Meng just came out of prison a few days ago, and I know that you allowed him to continue teaching here, and I want to thank you in person, but these days you are sick, and the general does not allow outsiders to disturb you." ”

Hua Qingxue was still at a loss, "Which Mr. Meng?" ”

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly remembered that there was indeed such a thing.

A scholar surnamed Meng lived in a private area here, and also accepted many children from poor families as students, and later went to prison for the crime of stealing a private house......

But there will still be children who come to Meng Shusheng from time to time, Hua Qingxue feels that the child is innocent, anyway, she can't live in such a big place, so she simply gave up the outside place, added tables, chairs and grass sheds, and added a piece of sand where you can practice writing, even if there is no teacher, the children can have a lot of fun here.

Hua Qingxue listened to the sound of reading outside, and suddenly realized, "He's back to teach again......

Huan'er replied with a smile: "The general said that Mr. Meng has no reputation and is not allowed to teach, but these children are used to being here, and Mr. Meng will occasionally come to see them." ”

Hua Qingxue smiled and shook her head, "The general is old-fashioned. "Teaching children to recognize words, where does it have to be famous?

Daqi will have such a law, probably to prevent some people who do not have real materials from privately relying on this to make money, and mislead people's children, after all, not everyone will be as selfless as Meng Shusheng.

"Let's take a look." Hua Qingxue said.

Every day she was recuperating at home, and she was not allowed to do anything, she was really bored.

……

The children outside the courtyard wall are very close to Hua Qingxue, because Hua Qingxue once taught them to play with kaleidoscopes and bubble water.

They are also very close to Huan'er and Xi'er, because the two maids often give them candy and snacks, and the reason is so simple.

As soon as Hua Qingxue came over, the children happily gathered around and chattered.

"Madame, are you well? Sister Huan'er and Sister Xi'er said that you can't go out recently. ”

"Madame! I can already write a lot of words! I just wrote on the sand to my husband, and my husband praised me! ”

"Sir, let's review the previous poems, we can already memorize this poem backwards, why don't you teach us a new one?"

"Madame, ma'am! ……”

Huan'er stopped them, "Okay, okay, Madame's illness is not cured, don't make any noise about her......"

Hua Qingxue saw Meng Shusheng standing not far away.

He approached a little stiffly, and bowed to her from a distance of seven or eight steps, "In Xia Meng Zhize, I have seen Mrs. Si Bing, I was offended a lot last time, and I hope Mrs. Haihan ......"

Hua Qingxue looked him up and down curiously, and asked, "Where do you live now?" ”

The guards had already demolished the wooden house he had built against the courtyard wall.

Meng Zhize's face was slightly embarrassed, and he replied: "I temporarily borrow the bookstore and copy some books for the bookstore on weekdays to make a living." ”

"That's good." Hua Qingxue put her mind at ease and nodded, "It's a serious errand, let's work hard to make a name for myself next year, these children can't do without you." ”

Meng Zhize blushed and said yes.

His qualifications are not too good, and he can even be regarded as mediocre, and he has failed the scientific examination twice in a row, but he has been magically passionate about reading and teaching, and he is also a wonderful person.

While the two were talking, there was a sudden commotion on the child's side.

Hua Qingxue looked up and saw a seven or eight-year-old girl standing on the corner of the street in front of her, looking at this side with envy in her eyes. She looked thin and thin, but she carried a large bundle of firewood on her back, and her waist was very bent.

"Broom Star! Go away! Go away! ”

The children yelled at the girl, and some even picked up mud from the ground and threw it at her.

The little girl's black and white eyes flashed with panic, and she turned around and ran away! Just because the firewood on her back was too heavy, she stumbled several steps and almost fell.

Hua Qingxue stopped the child who was picking up mud and throwing people, "Hey! How can you smash people? Stop. ”

The child said loudly, "Madame, she's a broom star!" Gotta scare her away, or we'll all be out of luck!" ”

Another child interjected, "Madame is Sirius, so she is not afraid of that broom star, didn't she scare away when she saw Madame?" ”

A group of children all showed expressions of sudden realization and echoed one after another: "Yes, Madame is not a mortal, don't be afraid of the broom star." ”

Hua Qingxue couldn't cry or laugh, she was obviously scared away by you, okay?

"Listen, there are no broom stars in this world, and you won't be unlucky just because you meet her." Hua Qingxue patiently said to them, "Next time she comes over, you should be friends with her and invite her to play here." ”

The children looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, but they didn't make a sound.

Hua Qingxue didn't know why, and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Meng Zhize explained: "Madame doesn't know, the girl just now is a child of the Wuniu Mountain Tong family. ”

Hua Qingxue looked at him blankly, "Tong family...... What's wrong? ”

The children around me immediately came forward like a fried pan and talked non-stop!

"The Tong family has done bad things, and they will be punished by God!"

"Everyone saw Tong Shanlin killed by lightning!"

"Yes, yes, I heard that it was burned directly into a pile of ashes!"

"The people of the Tong family are all broom stars, and they have done evil things to be collected by the sky, and my father and mother said that they can't associate with the people of the Tong family, otherwise what if God thunders and splits the wrong person?"

"Yes! Stay away from the Tong family! ”

Hua Qingxue was stunned, "Thunder and lightning are natural phenomena, how can it be said that they are cursed by heaven......"

However, these children are categorical and say, "Definitely! My dad saw it with his own eyes, and the lightning was so powerful! Running after Tong Shanlin! Tong Shanlin tried his best to escape, but he couldn't escape, God wanted to take him, how could he run away. ”

Hua Qingxue turned her face to look at Meng Zhize, don't scholars pay attention to their sons, don't they all pay attention to their strange powers? If Meng Zhize said, these children may be more convinced.

But Meng Zhize didn't refute it.

When he received Hua Qingxue's gaze, he just nodded his head and said, "There is indeed such a thing, there were many people who saw it at that time, and the scene was too terrifying, so that people were panicked for a long time. ”

As for the statements such as doing evil things and being punished by God, they are rumors released by the government, which can appease the people and serve as a warning.

Meng Zhize said to the children: "It's not early, let's go home quickly, otherwise we will have to rush to the night." ”

The children listened to him and immediately dispersed.

Hua Qingxue watched these little figures run away in groups, and couldn't help but think of the little girl just now, carrying firewood on her back, alone, and full of panic when she fled......

Hua Qingxue couldn't forget that look.

Most of the people in the world are ignorant, and they are accustomed to spreading falsehoods, if the people in the village think that the Tong family is punished by God because they have done evil, the life of the Tong family must be difficult.

After going back, Hua Qingxue and Huan'er talked about it, and Huan'er also knew something, saying: "After Tong Shanlin died, he left his wife and a pair of children, and the people in the village avoided them, and his mother's family was also unlucky, and he was unwilling to help. ”

In other words, the Tong family now only has Tong Shanlin's wife and daughter.

Without the help of relatives and friends, a woman with a child, it is difficult for Hua Qingxue to imagine how they live.

"It's obviously a natural phenomenon, how can you say that a person who died unexpectedly was punished for doing evil things......" Hua Qingxue frowned and muttered to herself.

Huan'er asked puzzledly: "But everyone says that the lightning doesn't split others, only chases Tong Shanlin, madam, is there really a lightning bolt in this world that can chase people?" ”

"It's not about running after people." Hua Qingxue sighed and said, "Sometimes some special geographical environment and weather conditions will form ball lightning, this lightning is very sensitive to changes in air flow, once people start to run, driving the air around them, the lightning will naturally move in that direction, so it looks like chasing people." ”

Huan'er didn't seem to understand, she didn't quite understand what airflow was, but after listening to Hua Qingxue's explanation, she felt that it didn't seem to be so scary.

Huan'er said suddenly: "It turns out that it's really not God's curse." ”

Hua Qingxue looked at the sky outside the window in a daze, and sighed: "If everyone knew that this would not be a curse...... If everybody understood that it was just a natural phenomenon, maybe there wouldn't be those poor people......"
