Seeing the little fox leaving, the students breathed a sigh of relief, when people faced the unknown, most of them were curious, but most of them were afraid. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
"What the hell was that little fox just now? It's really scary!" A girl who traveled with her glanced at the mainstay of the river, and slapped her chest several times in a row, with a happy expression on her face, looking like she was living for the rest of her life.
The surrounding students reluctantly moved away from the girl's chest, and then fell into the river, the mainstay that was originally more than one person high, but just out of the water at the moment, the rest of the part was destroyed by the little fox just now, and now it is basically washed away by the river.
From this, it can be seen that the strength of the little fox is very amazing, if the little fox has evil intentions......
Thinking of this, a group of students even looked at Li Rong with admiration, in their opinion, it was Li Rong's act of asking for the Holy Word that scared the little fox away, of course, as part of the parties and participants, all the students had some honor in their hearts.
Although the mainland teenagers are relatively precocious, they are actually only half-grown, and in their opinion, the reason why the little fox left was because they were scared away.
Feeling the admiring eyes of many classmates, Li Rong puffed up his chest proudly, then looked around and said, "Fellow students, although the fox has temporarily retreated, in my opinion, it is better to go back and tell Lord Xuezheng." ”
I traveled most of the mountains, but encountered this kind of thing, I am afraid that the students never thought of it, Li Rong's opening, many students who regarded him as the backbone, of course, have no reason to object.
Jiang Shangli bowed slightly, and just put away the tea making utensils on the stone table into a small bamboo basket, Jiang Yue walked over and obediently carried the small bamboo basket behind him.
A group of people walked back along the mountain road with a shouting and drinking, they were teenagers, and they forgot about the little fox between laughing and talking, except for resting and eating at noon, they did not stop along the way, and they went down the mountain in just an hour.
Although the sparrow is small, the five organs are complete, among the four miles and eight townships, although the scale of Jiyuan Township is not too large, but it is also exquisite, such as the city wall built in imitation of the pattern of Yangcheng County, and the official school, that is, the township school.
However, the land of a township is a land of a township after all, and the area enclosed by the entire city wall is only three miles long and wide, and the city wall is even more shabby, which can barely be called a wall.
There is still half a month before the township test, and the Jiyuan township test is held in the township school, so the township school has been temporarily closed, and the students have suspended classes.
As for the encounter with the white fox, the biggest one in the limelight is Li Rong, the students still have this bit of self-knowledge, knowing that they can't be in the limelight in front of Xuezheng, so except for a few who watch the excitement, there are students who say goodbye and leave from time to time along the way, and then rush along the path to their respective homes, and the big guys scatter quite quickly.
Li Rong didn't care, he had a smiling face every time he was separated, he was able to guess the psychology of the students, so he didn't pay attention to it, would Honghu care about the birds' thoughts?
Walking to a fork in the road again, looking at the village not far away, Jiang Shangli also paused, a smile appeared on his face, and after saying goodbye to the students simply, Jiang Shangli took Jiang Yue and walked along the path towards home.
"Brother. Jiang Yue shouted softly, seeing that there was still a distance of half a mile from the village, Jiang Yue stopped, stepped on the weeds on the side of the road with one foot, and went back and forth.
Jiang Shangli stopped, turned his head to look at Jiang Yue, and did not ask, but waited for Jiang Yue to speak by himself, watching Jiang Yue's pink face slowly emerge with a touch of red, Jiang Shangli couldn't help but feel a little strange, how could the girl behave so strangely today.
"Brother, what do you think of Gongzi Li?" Jiang Shangli was a little embarrassed to look at, Jiang Yue stomped her foot, and then asked a little shyly.
Jiang Shangli's face suddenly became strange, Jiang Yue swore that she had never seen Jiang Shangli have such a rich expression on his face, all along, Jiang Shangli showed a calm face in front of outsiders, and only in front of his family would he occasionally smile.
But with such an extremely strange expression, she seemed to want to laugh, but she was trying to hold it back, even as Jiang Shangli's sister, Jiang Yue had never seen it.
Seeing that Jiang Yue's face was full of blush as if she was drunk, Jiang Shangli held back for a long time, and finally couldn't help laughing softly.
After all, this is not the previous life, the law of the Great Zhou stipulates that a man can marry when he is eighteen years old, and a woman can marry at sixteen, Jiang Yue is already fourteen years old, and it will be time to consider marrying in two years, and it is normal to have this mind now.
However, looking at Jiang Yue's childish face, Jiang Shangli always had a strange feeling, especially Jiang Yue still looked serious, how to look at it and there was a feeling of disobedience, unconsciously, Jiang Shangli's laughter was also three points louder.
"Brother!" Jiang Yue stomped her foot angrily, punched Jiang Shangli hard, and then stuffed the bamboo basket that she had carried all the way into Jiang Shangli's arms, and she trotted towards home.
Until Jiang Yue's figure was almost gone, Jiang Shangli's face was still a little strange, and finally he shook his head, hung the bamboo basket on his back, and walked towards home in a leisurely manner.
When she got home, Jiang Yue was still angry with Jiang Shangli, and after giving Jiang Shangli a large white eye, she turned around and walked towards her room, without even giving Jiang Shangli a chance to speak.
"Liulang, how did you provoke the girl?" The hanging curtain was lifted, and the rugged Jiang Dawei walked out of it, followed by his aunt Lin Yuan, and a little guy with a tiger head.
Among the new generation of Dongjiang Village, Jiang Shangli is ranked sixth, so those close to him are called Liulang.
"Second uncle, aunt. Jiang Shangli hurriedly put down the bamboo basket, and after saying hello, he glanced at Jiang Hu who was hiding behind him, and said apologetically: "Today's students are traveling to the mountains, so I have delayed the teaching of Seventeen Lang, and I will make up for him tomorrow morning." ”
"No problem, no problem. Jiang Dawei rubbed his calloused hands, and then said: "This half month, Seventeen Lang's teaching will stop first, Liulang, you should study well, and strive to shine in the township test, so that my Jiang family will have one more talent." In this case, the eldest brother and sister-in-law will not have much regret if they know underground. ”
Speaking of Jiang Shangli's parents, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became a little dull. On the night of Jiang Shangli's birth, his mother died of excessive blood loss, and his father raised Jiang Shangli for a year.
So in Dongjiang Village, Jiang Shangli has always been treated as an alternative, and Jiang Jialiulang has always been considered the embodiment of bad luck, so no one wants to communicate with him.
Fortunately, Jiang Dawei and Lin Yuan, two uncles and aunts, were raised as biological sons since childhood, and they have only grown up, otherwise even if Jiang Shangli has a mature soul in his body, he may not be able to survive his early childhood safely.
Therefore, in Jiang Shangli's eyes, Jiang Dawei and Lin Yuan are no less status than their parents.
"Hmm. Jiang Shangli replied simply, and then said with a smile: "Second uncle, aunt, it's okay, I won't delay Huzi's teaching, wait until the township test is over, let's take a look, and send Huzi to the township school when the time comes." ”
Dongjiang Village and Xijiang Village are both an ancestor, a hundred years ago, a branch of Xijiang Village produced a Jinshi, and several close relatives with good relations moved to the imperial capital, and now Xijiang Village has been barren, only Dongjiang Village.
Jiang Shangli went to the village school, which was taught by the old master in the village, but the old master was old, and when he died three years ago, the village school was abandoned, no one taught it anymore, and few people patronized the village school. Later, after the discussion of the clan elders, Jiang Shangli stayed in the village and was responsible for taking care of the books and teaching the boy some basic knowledge by the way.
Others of the same generation, most of them choose to go to the township for further study, as for why Jiang Shangli did not go to the township school, because he can't afford to pay for the shackles of Mr. Xiangxue, although the township school is an official school, free of charge, but the simple villagers will take the initiative to send some bundles to Mr. when sending their children to school, as a tribute.
Each child's annual bundle is five buckets of rice.
Originally, Jiang Dawei was going to send Jiang Shang to leave the township to study, but at that time, Lin Yuan gave birth to a little guy with a tiger head and a tiger brain, that is, Seventeen Lang in front of him.
Every family has its own difficulties, in this regard, Jiang Shangli has never resented Jiang Dawei and Lin Yuan, on the contrary, Jiang Shangli is grateful to the couple from the bottom of his bones, Jiang Shangli, who has been a human being for two lives, naturally understands that it is very rare for Jiang Dawei and Lin Yuan to be able to do this level.
Later, Jiang Shangli got used to the days in the village school, reading the books in the village school, teaching the children to read and write, which was really a very leisurely thing for him.
Jiang Shangli in his previous life, both parents died, but fortunately he also had relatives to raise him, that was an elegant old man, teaching Jiang Shangli all kinds of classical poems and classics, and raising an orphan to a doctor of ancient literature, but when Jiang Shang left the school to report, he got the bad news of the old man's death.
Jiang Shangli, who rushed back from school frantically, encountered a car accident on the road, so he came to this world in a daze, and he didn't even see the last face of the old man.
This incident makes Jiang Shangli think about it to this day, and he has some regrets.
Looking at Jiang Shangli's trance-like appearance, Jiang Dawei thought that Jiang Shangli had thought of the matter of Xiangxue, and couldn't help sighing: "Liulang, this matter of Xiangxue, Uncle is sorry for you, even if you borrowed it at the beginning, you have to borrow the five buckets of rice......
"Second uncle, don't say that, in fact, there is little significance in township learning, I have learned almost everything from the old master. Jiang Shang left his mouth and said with relief, for a doctor majoring in ancient literature, what Xiangxue teaches is really a little shallow, what Jiang Shang lacks is not understanding and comprehension ability, what he lacks is his understanding of this world culture, and what he lacks is the thick sense of history.
And at this point, those classics in the village school have been able to initially satisfy Jiang Shangli, so it is said that they learned from the old master, but it is not a goalless one.
Seeing that Jiang Dawei's face was still a little ugly, Jiang Shangli said calmly: "Second uncle, I really didn't lie to you, otherwise, this township exam, I will give you a lift." ”
"Okay, then let's take a test. Jiang Dawei only thought that Jiang Shangli was comforting him, and said in a somewhat complicated tone.
