Chapter Ninety-Three: Hidden Deeply
Wen Jin saw that Wen Han was also hungry for this, so she cheered up and made a pot, and in order to take care of Shen Jun, she prepared a few cold dishes with a relatively light taste.
Shen Jun's adaptability is really strong, and he eats as much as Wen Han and Shi Zhenzong. The three of them faced the hot and spicy fish pot, their faces were covered with sweat, and they couldn't help but keep stuffing them into their mouths.
After a meal, Shen Jun sighed: "This chili pepper is really weird, it is obviously spicy and uncomfortable, but it makes people fragrant and uncomfortable, the more I eat it, the more I think about it." ”
"Haha, you know it's delicious, right?"
"Got it, hehe, and got it."
After the three of them had eaten, they were still wandering around, Wen Jin took the opportunity to take a good rest, these days he was cooking and practicing martial arts, and he was really tired.
The evening is the highlight of their martial arts practice, after all, during the day, Shi Zhenzong passed on the Shi family's martial arts to outsiders, which was a little unsightly. Although those are the ancestors of his family, all the people in Shiwei Village are not qualified to have opinions.
Shi Zhenzong corrected a few of Wen Han's movements, let him grope slowly on the side, and ran to Shen Jun by himself: "Brother Shen, your kung fu is much stronger than Brother Wen Han's, why don't we make a move?" ”
"How dare I get an axe from my three-legged cat?" Shen Jun said lazily, taking advantage of Shi Zhenzong's defense, he suddenly kicked with his flying feet. Shi Zhenzong's stomach bulged like a toad, Shen Jun felt like kicking an iron plate, he changed his position and continued to kick violently, Shi Zhenzong had to fight back, and the two of them suddenly went back and forth, only to fight in the dark.
"Brother Shi's subordinates are merciful!" Wen Han was anxious and shouted, and the two figures retreated violently and separated.
"I've been taught, Brother Shi!" Shen Jun bowed.
"You're welcome!" Shi Zhenzong also returned the salute, he didn't expect Shen Jun to be so flexible. Maybe he was a disciple of the sect who emphasized practicing light skills, he thought so, Shen Jun made a move, leaving room everywhere, Shi Zhenzong knew that he had good intentions, so he didn't remind Wen Han.
On the fourth day, Wen Jin made the meal relatively light, and the three of them didn't eat much, the Shi family had something, Yaozong came to call his brother back, Shen Jun took the opportunity to ask Wen Jin for advice: "How did you draw that picture?" It's very clear at first glance. ”
Wen Jin pretended to be puzzled: "I just painted casually." ”
Shen Jun immediately looked pitiful: "Brother Jin, just tell me about it, even if you draw it again, let me take a look." ”
Wen Jin had no choice but to draw the three-dimensional picture of the waterwheel again.
Shen Jun followed the imitation very seriously, and after painting it a few times, he finally smiled: "I know, this painting square is like a square frame that has been flattened, if you draw a circle, you can also draw it flat, the joint is, in which direction it is flattened, it must be consistent, and it must not be messed up." ”
"Really? I just scribble by feeling, not as consciously as you say. ”
"You're so smart."
"Not as smart as you."
Both of them realized that they were flattering each other and couldn't help but look at each other and smile.
Shi Zhenzong just ran in in a hurry, and when he saw this scene, his heart twitched fiercely. The battle with Shen Jun in the evening was a little more intense, and the next day, both of them had a little bruises on their faces.
Not only Wen Han at the scene, but even Wen Jin was not surprised by Shen Jun's deep hiding.
When Shi Zhenzong was away, Shen Jun cautiously explained to Wen Jin and Wen Han: "My mother died early and was disgusted by my stepmother, and one of my mother's companions quietly invited me to the master, no one knows about it on weekdays, it's not that I deliberately hide it from you." Wen Han and Wen Jin were so sad that they almost wrote the word "sympathy" directly on their faces.
"Brother Shen, it's hard for you." Wen Han took Shen Jun's hand.
"It's okay, if it weren't for that, I wouldn't have martial arts yet." Shen Jun really wanted to open it.
"Does your uncle know?"
"I know, when I was young, I went to join the army, and I was beaten a lot. It's okay now, I won't go, someone doesn't want me to live, then I want to live more. ”
"Yes!" Wen Jin subconsciously clenched his fists and agreed.
Maybe he knew Shen Jun's secret, and in the following days, Shi Zhenzong was even more abandoned outside the circle of three, which made him depressed and crazy.
Eight days passed in the blink of an eye, the day when Wen Han and Shen Jun returned to the academy was coming, Wen Jin accompanied them back to the mountain nest, this day's meal was made by Wei, Wen Jin ran to the field, checked the growth of the fruit trees he grafted, and then looked at the newly planted lotus seedlings, everything was fine.
Qian Xiancheng has this benefit, he is very serious in his work, and he has not left any of Wen Jin's entrustment.
In addition to being satisfied, Wen Jin plans to go well in Shiwei Village in the future, and this side will be handed over to the second uncle, of course, it is only income, and the property rights must not be let go, otherwise, I don't know when one day, it will become a big house.
Wen Han said goodbye to his parents' "younger brother", sat on an ox cart, and went to Huaijin Mansion.
Shen Jun was dressed in cloth, but he still showed that the simple oxcart was too incompatible with him, Wen Jin suspected that he was a child of an official family, otherwise this extravagant body, how could it be so heavy, and simple cloth clothes could not cover it.
Wen Jin was afraid that her second aunt would be sad, so she stayed in the mountain nest for a few days before returning to Shiwei Village. A letter came over there, saying that a lacquer cutter had come and was willing to take dozens of young adults from Stone Village up the mountain.
For the sake of Wei Chenglan's face, the young adults of Weijiawan also followed into the mountain, although there were still a few days left on the summer solstice, they had to practice their hands first. Anyway, there are many trees on the mountain, and they are reluctant to cut lacquer trees, so they first cut knives on trees with similar feels, and the dead trees are cut down, and the trunks are ready to build houses, and the branches are brought back as firewood.
Obtaining lacquer is an extremely arduous process, and there is a saying that "a hundred miles and a thousand knives and a pound of lacquer". That is to say, walk a hundred miles, cut thousands of knives, in order to collect a pound of paint, fortunately in this world, there is no chemical paint, those high-ranking officials and nobles use paint furniture, are inseparable from lacquer tree paint, the price of raw lacquer is very good.
Cutting lacquer is very particular about knife skills, starting from the summer solstice, a lacquer tree will suffer at least more than 1,000 knives in 20 years of life, and each lacquer mouth will flow out of a maximum of 2 taels of lacquer. But when the lacquer tree reaches a certain age, if it does not cut the lacquer, it will be swelled to death by the sap, and nature uses it to patronize human beings.
The lacquer cutting master solved the problem of lacquer allergy in one sentence: "Swallowing a mouthful before cutting lacquer can prevent allergies and kill roundworms." When Wen Jin said this, it was already after the summer solstice, and everyone who went to cut the lacquer had eaten raw lacquer. They said that the raw lacquer has the fresh smell of trees, and it is not bitter and unpalatable, but some people are still allergic and have to quit the industry, and in the end there are only about 20 people left in Shiwei Village and 30 in Weijiawan. The population of Weijiawan is small, but Shiwei Village is mostly full of old and weak women and children, and the pressure of life here is much greater than that of Weijiawan.
