Later, Ah Ping brought back two things, I recognized them as Thousand-Eyed Bodhi, at first I didn't know what he was going to do, but then I saw him take a knife and engrave words on it, one engraved "Yuan" and the other engraved "Yue", needless to say that it was made for two children. But such a large one will be worn on the wrist, but I saw that after he finished carving, he cut a hole and passed it through the black rope, and the length was a necklace.

When Yuan'er got it in his hand, he originally looked at Bodhi Huang and didn't like it very much, but when he saw the words engraved on it, his eyes lit up, and he didn't immediately put on his neck, but first went to take Yue'er's one and looked through it, and then looked up and asked me: "Auntie, can you give me these two ugly stones to use?" The corner of my eye twitched, and in front of his father, I said that this thousand-eyed Bodhi was an ugly stone, and no one was left, and it seemed that he had been taught a lesson by his father.

I asked him why he wanted two pieces, one of which had the word "month" written on it, and it was for Xiao Yue'er. He refused to say the reason, only said that he would give it to his brother later, and did not refute his request, wanting to see what he was going to do.

When Yuan'er came back from the study hall in the evening, he ran straight to Yue'er, took the thousand-eyed Bodhi from his sleeve, and first stuffed it into Yue'er's hand, but he felt that it was wrong, and took the Bodhi back and helped Yue'er put it on his neck.

As if he saw something more on the Bodhi, he couldn't help but walk over and pick it up to see, and saw that the Bodhi on Yue'er's neck was engraved with the word "moon" in addition to the word "moon", but also engraved with the moonlight. Is this what he wants to do with the Bodhi of the moon? "Where's yours?" I would wonder what he had carved for himself, and when I saw him pull out the black thread from his collar, I looked at his bodhi and saw a sun carved on it.

Suddenly I felt very appropriate, the yuan is the vitality, like the sunshine in the sky, and the moon is naturally the hobby moon.

Although it is a very simple idea, I still think Yuan'er has a heart. I asked him if he had asked Uncle Yan to help him engrave it, but I saw him shake his head and say that he had carved it himself, and he had secretly carved it underneath when his master asked him to memorize the text.

I couldn't help but be surprised: "How can you carve it?" Where do you get the tools? ”

Yuan'er replied frankly: "Uncle Xu taught me to carve it before, and he also gave him the small carving knife, and Uncle Xu also carved a lot of stones, including A-Niang." "I'm really surprised, Zhu Gaoxu can carve? The little bow he made for Yuan'er was a little unsightly.

Yuan'er saw that I didn't believe it, so he pulled my sleeve and asked me to see it. I thought that the things were in Zhu Gaoxu's side courtyard, and I didn't really want to go, but I heard Yuan'er say that he brought all the things back. Now my curiosity was really aroused, and I followed Yuan'er to his hut in the side hall, and saw him lying on the ground in front of the bed, and reaching for something under the bed.

is also speechless, the boy has never cared about whether the ground is dirty or not, and he knows to hide things.

I saw Yuan'er pull out a sandalwood box from under the bed, and there was a small bronze lock on it, and he didn't need to ask where the key was, because since he took it out and wanted to offer me a treasure, he would definitely open it. But what I didn't expect was that he actually hid the key in the thousand-eyed Bodhi that he had just worn around his neck, and it turned out that the sun he carved was also hidden and could be opened.

The bronze key was small and was used to open the sandalwood box, which I could see from a high vantage point.

There were large and small stones and woods, some molded and some semi-finished products, and two small carving knives were covered with leather sheaths. I crouched down and picked up one of the black stones, the pattern carved on it that I couldn't describe. But I found that not every piece is so badly carved, some of the wood carvings can still be seen, and some even think the carvings are quite good.

Yuan'er turned out a crystal white stone in it, "Auntie, look, is this like you?" ”

I saw that the portrait carved on the stone really looked like me, not the appearance of me wearing a palace uniform, but the ordinary blue cloth clothes that Zhu Di wore when he was brought back to Beiping. There is no doubt that these carvings of wood or stone were used by Zhu Gaoxu to pass the time in the side courtyard, and he obviously didn't, just pondered and carved slowly.

I asked Yuan'er, "Do you hide all these things as treasures?" ”

"Uncle Xu can't carve it when he goes home, and the house is also shelved, so it's better to give it to me, and Uncle Xu won't be angry anyway."

Yuan'er's tone was very indifferent to Zhu Gaoxu, during that time, he often went to the courtyard, and he must have established an extraordinary friendship with Zhu Gaoxu, and with Zhu Gaoxu's childish nature, he really couldn't say that he could play with Yuan'er.

Wait a minute, the palace change was nearly a year ago, and at that time Yuan'er was still young and it was unlikely that he would learn to carve. Afterwards...... Zhu Gaoxu disappeared from our field of vision, and I thought he had returned to Beiping, so who did Yuan'er learn this carving kung fu from?

I asked, "Yuan'er, where did you get these things?" ”

"It's Uncle Xu's house."

"Where's the house?"

Yuan'er thought for a while, and suddenly leaned over and whispered: "Uncle Xu originally didn't let me say it, but I can't lie to A-Niang, I'll take you there." "I have this intention, because I judged that it would be absolutely impossible for Ah Ping to recapture Zhu Gaoxu and place him in the side courtyard, but I didn't expect that Yuan'er took me away from a secret passage somewhere in the side hall, not to mention how Yuan'er knew the mechanism to open the secret passage stone slab, this fact alone surprised me.

It was a stone house, the space was cramped, not to mention the interior was dim, if Zhu Gaoxu had been locked up here for nearly a year, I would really feel very uncomfortable. At least in the original side courtyard he could see the light of day, but there was nothing but four stone walls in this place.

I was very worried and asked Yuan'er how she found here. The child won't lie, and told me that he secretly followed Yan Qi in, and Yan Qi was afraid that he was here to deliver food to Zhu Gaoxu. Then Xiao Yuan'er came and went quietly, he thought that no one knew, but I think Yan Qi definitely knew, but he didn't stop it.

Patterns were also carved on the walls of the stone house with a carving knife, and it suddenly became clear why Zhu Gaoxu was able to learn the art of carving. Slowly walking around the stone wall, after walking a circle, my heart is very heavy, if these stone carvings can see something, I saw Zhu Gaoxu's psychological journey in it. Whether it is from the quality of the stone carvings or from the analysis of other human nature, you can distinguish which ones are carved first and which ones are carved later.

This is human nature, no one can always maintain a good attitude in a cramped and oppressive space. After all, the environment forced him into a corner, and changed his original intention.

No wonder Zhu Gaoxu will be the first person to charge into the imperial city in the future, I have thought about many ways and may not think that he should be the vanguard general, but now I finally understand that it is because of hatred in his heart.

When I went out, I looked back and warned Yuan'er not to come down again. It's not that I want to influence Yuan'er's preferences, but as the child grows up, he will slowly receive information from the environment, and I don't want Yuan'er to feel this resentment. I even thought about confiscating his box, but after hesitating, I dispelled the idea, no matter how Zhu Gaoxu's image left for Yuan'er was kind.

I didn't want to tell Ah Ping about this, but I was afraid that the guards hidden in the shadows would report it to him, so he asked about it at night. I didn't hide it from him, I told Yuan'er about the cause and effect of carving Bodhi, and when I saw that he was silent for a while, I didn't go around the bend to ask questions first: "How can such a hidden place be found?" "I've been thinking about this question since I came out of the ground, both in the palace and hidden underground, how can Zhu Di save people? Could it be that there is his spy in the palace? But it's not so easy to rob people in a well-guarded palace. Could it be that the underground passage has leaked? As far as I know, if the passage down the side hall is the same as that of the main hall, then Zhu Gaoxu should be able to find a way out.

However, I didn't expect Ah Ping to give me the answer: "He was not robbed in the palace." ”

I was stunned, not in the palace? "Did you change places later?"

"After you were robbed in the palace, there was a letter on my case, asking me to exchange him for you. I couldn't have gambled with you at that time, so I had to bring people up and go to the agreed place to exchange. ”

Needless to say, in the end, he must have fallen for Zhu Di's plan, and Zhu Gaoxu was rescued. "And how did you find out I was on that hillside?"

I never asked him about the details, but now that I talk about it, I realize that there are many things I don't know. Ah Ping said that when he brought Zhu Gaoxu out of the palace, he expected that he might not be able to exchange me, and the real purpose was to check my whereabouts from this line, and he did trace and find the mountain.

Hearing this, I couldn't help but be silent, the whole thing was obviously a series of tricks by Zhu Di, with his scheming, I didn't think it would be so easy to let Ah Ping bring someone to track it down, obviously that mountain was arranged by him early in the morning and led Ah Ping to go.

However, I think Ah Ping should be able to count to this level, but he still took people without hesitation. Because the person who was held in Zhu Di's hand was me, he didn't dare to take the slightest risk, even if he knew that it was a deep pit, he still jumped headlong.
