Chapter 14: Kicked Out
"Ah~~~" Xiao Budian got up and sat up, yawned, stretched hard, sore but not tired, and was in good spirits. It must be sleeping on this straw, Xiao Bu secretly thought, recently from time to time this feeling, this period of time, either sleeping on the bamboo mat, or sleeping on the thatch, sleeping on this broken thing is too uncomfortable, we must find a way to sleep back to the comfortable big bed before.
The second brother was still sleeping, and Harazi flowed down the corner of his mouth. My father had already gotten up, standing by the wall with his hands behind his back, tilting his head and looking out at the blue sky through the narrow window.
"Good Morning Father"
Immediately move your hands from your eyebrows to your chest, bend over, respectfully. Years of Confucian education, said to be many years, in fact, less than two years, when I was three years old, I learned with my brothers and sisters, and the first subject I learned was "etiquette", I couldn't remember it, I played; If you don't do it right, hit it; Do not do it standard, hit! The master is still very reasonable, and only after subduing you will he reason with you. He convincingly carved filial piety into the bone marrow, melted into the blood, and became an unconscious habit.
The father didn't move, only a "hmm". Seeing that his father didn't react, Xiao Budian accepted the gift, and the fence at the door looked out, the so-called outside, but the opposite cell. Between the two cells is a passageway. I don't know if it's intentional, unintentional or coincidental, but in the opposite cell, there is still that old acquaintance ---- that unlucky scholar! Now he didn't have the arrogant look he had at the beginning, his head drooped, and he sat in the corner.
Seeing that Xiao Budian on the other side was looking at himself, the scholar's eyes also showed a strange look, and he couldn't help but sit upright, and seriously looked at the family of his fellow inmates opposite. It's not that he has awakened to class consciousness and has changed his thinking about the lower-class people, but he has curiosity about the behavior of the third father and son: this is obviously a family with a very strict family education, not like an ordinary broken family, let alone a beggar.
"Have you ever been to a Mongolian school?" The scholar took the initiative to speak.
"Yes" Xiao San didn't have any dislike for this unlucky scholar, but just sympathized with his bad luck. Seeing that he took the initiative to talk to him and say hello, he didn't hold a grudge against his previous contempt for his father and son, besides, after all, they were still friends at the same time.
"At what age?" The unlucky scholar's mood seems to be much better, maybe it's resignation, maybe it's because no one has spoken for a few days, it's unbearable and lonely, and I want someone to talk to.
"Three-year-old"
"How many articles has Sancang read?"
"I've read them all"
"What about the generals?" The unlucky scholar sat down with his eyes wide open.
"I've also read it, it's the work of Lord Sima."
"Black peck, bellflower coriander, coltsfoot fritillary tiller," the scholar said.
"Qincao peony cinnamon leaking reed, Lianlian fungus and fungus, white angelica calamus, mangxiao guan pepper dogwood." Liu Chang immediately continued.
"Do you know all the words here?"
"Of course, I know everything, and I can write" Liu Chang stretched out his hand out of the fence and gestured horizontally and vertically on the stone slab on the ground.
"How old are you now?"
The scholar's surprised eyes are about to fall to the ground, generally five or six years old Mengtong, Sancang can recite a piece can become a prodigy, what is Sancang, refers to Li Si's "Cangjie Chapter", Zhao Gao's "Love Chapter" and Hu Wujing's "Erudite Chapter", "Fan Jiang Chapter" for the current dynasty genius Sima Xiangru did. Before the age of ten, it is extraordinary to be able to memorize and write these enlightenment books, and to be able to comprehend the meaning of them, most children only start enlightenment at the age of seven or eight, and this child begins to enlighten at the age of three, which will never be what ordinary families can do. But why are they so down, aren't they beggars, they are fleeing?
This is not impossible, there are many families who have been convicted in recent years, even the great Sima Weiqing and the champion Hou Huo have been wiped out, and there are not a few other families who have been exterminated. It must be the descendants of one of the families who escaped or were raided and left to the people. The scholar thought a lot in his heart, but he didn't think of the prince himself, why? Now there are all over the sea fishing documents to arrest the prince, and no matter how arrogant the prince is, he will not swagger under the wanted warrant to arrest him. Either you don't have a heart, or you have mold in your heart.
"I'll be five years old in a few days"
Liu Chang also replied generously, without any intention of hiding it. He knew that there were some things that could not be hidden, especially knowledge and cultivation, which were melted in the blood, and the more he tried to hide them, the more he would be exposed.
"Got up, got up, got up!"
The jailer shouted loudly, interrupting their conversation, and with a burst of footsteps, one of the jailers who came first, with a bunch of keys, rattled and unlocked the door, and pulled it open,
"Bring the bucket out"
Then, a husband pushed a wooden cart, put a large wooden barrel on the cart, poured the contents of the bucket into the large wooden barrel, put the wooden barrel at the door with his hand, and then pushed it forward. The entire aisle was filled with the stench of feces and urine, and the sound of retching could be heard from time to time throughout the aisle. Xiao Budian casually lifted the gong bucket back, put it in the corner, and closed the lid, which was actually smooth and natural.
On the other hand, the one opposite, covered his mouth and nose with his left hand with his sleeve, stretched out his right hand as far back as he could, turned his back, tilted his head, pinched the edge of the bucket with two fingers, carefully moved the bucket to the corner little by little, and then, with the same posture, covered the cap, and immediately ran to the other side, retching! The jailer who had opened the door before turned back, locked the doors one by one, took the keys with him, and walked away with a bang.
The stench of the aisle had not yet dissipated, and another jailer was holding a large pile of earthen bowls, distributing one cell after another, and came to Liu Ju's cell, and found that there were actually three people, hesitated, put down the three bowls, and walked forward. There was also a jailer in the back, and behind the jailer was a wooden cart, and there was a box in front of the cart, and in the box was a pile of black cakes, and there was a stab behind the cart that was almost exactly the same as just now, but it was much smaller, and it was also pushed by a force.
The jailer in front threw a loaf of bread into each cell, then scooped a spoonful of water into a bowl on the floor. When they came to Liu Yi's room, they also froze for a moment and looked back. Behind Lifu, there was also a person like a prisoner, with his hands behind his back. Seeing that the jailer looked different, he immediately walked around from behind the wooden cart.
"What's going on? How do you have two children? There are no children written on the file! You go get the team leader! ”
The jailer was angry and said to one of the jailers who was following him.
The jailer immediately turned and ran out, and in a few moments the head of the squad came running.
"What's going on?" The jailer pointed out.
"Back to my lord, when Huxian County handed over yesterday, these two children were there, saying that they were together."
"Is there any paperwork for the transfer?"
"Nope"
"Go and get Wence"
"No"
In a few moments, the jailer took the roster and sent it to the jailer. According to the names on the roster and the people escorted from Huxian yesterday, the prison guards confirmed that there were no two brothers, one big and one young, on the list.
"Mess around! Don't you know the rules? In the edict, one less is not enough, and one more is not enough! This is a prison, not a bazaar! I don't think you want to live anymore! The jailer reprimanded the head of the squad a few times, and threw the bamboo slip on the jailer's body.
"What's your name?" After the jailer reprimanded the jailer, he pointed at Liu and asked.
"Mountain" Liu replied, of course, the name is fake, and he gave it to himself when he registered in Hu County. Surnames are a luxury in this era, ordinary people do not have surnames, there are very few people with surnames, and only nobles or people with status have surnames.
"What about the two of them?" The jailer pointed at the brothers again.
"The big one is called Bao'er, and the small one is called San'er," Liu replied truthfully.
"Hmm"
The jailer snorted, snatched the bamboo slip from the jailer's hand, and checked the roster to make sure that there were no two people on the list.
"Get them both out!" The prison boy gave the order.
"Yes, yes, the little ones get them out right away! Come! Get rid of these two little cubs! ”
As soon as the team leader waved, the two jailers in the back immediately ran over, reached out and grabbed the two brothers, pulled one by one, and dragged the two brothers out of the door.
"Father, father," Xiao Bu nodded and grabbed the gate fence with one hand and looked at his father. Liu Ji was also sober at this time, and he didn't look for a prison theory or anything, but calmly squatted down and said to Xiao San:
"Go out and take good care of your brother, father is fine here, father will look for you in a few days" In fact, when the jailer found them and the prison man appeared, his heart was relieved, the next screening is not so easy to pass, there will definitely be people in the palace, Su Wen's eunuch will definitely come, he hates me to the bone.
Su Wen has seen these two, and when he was discovered by that gelding, my father and son must be dead. Well, now I'm anxious about these two children, and I'm so grateful to God for helping me a lot.
"Father, take care, I'll pick you up. I'll take care of my brother, woowoo."
When the junior heard his father say this, he didn't insist, let go of his hand, and was dragged away by a jailer all the way, and his brother was also dragged by another person, and the brothers were dragged out of the gate like this.
