The other person obviously didn't think much of what Niu Ba said, and said in a lamented voice: "Captain Niu, I think we will go all the way to the dark, right?" Everyone chimed in, "Yes, yes." ”

While roasting the fire, one of them pulled the felt hat on his head and said, "It's too cold to stay up, so Captain Niu, let us go back." ”

Just as Niu Ba was thinking about how to convince the members who were about to break up, a young group member walked into the meditation room. His face was full of excitement, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Captain Niu, Captain Niu, good news!" Mr. Tian Zaiyuan came, and he brought a large cart of firewood to everyone, as well as a lot of food and use! ”

Everyone clapped their hands and laughed: "Great, great!" ”

Niu Ba opened the door and walked out first, and everyone followed. A group of people came to the outside of Fayuan Temple, and saw Tian Zaiyuan with seven or eight people sent a whole cart of firewood, food and clothing, and a lot of things. The people of the 'Tiger Fighting Group' all ran to the supplies and watched excitedly.

Niu Ba came to Mr. Tian Zaiyuan and bowed, "Sir." Niu Ba is polite. ”

Tian Zaiyuan said with a smile on his face: "Little Ba, I haven't seen you for a long time and I miss it very much, are you all okay?" ”

Niu Badao: "It's all good." ”

Tian Zaiyuan said: "This is the two truckloads of things that our colleagues from the Taixue Library sent together, as well as a basket of spicy seeds I brought you, I don't know if it is suitable for the taste of your Wuling people." ”

Niu Ba smiled and said, "Suitable, suitable." As he spoke, he said, "Thank you, sir!" Everyone also shouted in unison: "Thank you, Mr. Tian." "Thank you, Mr. Tian, thank you Mr. Tian for your hard work."

Tian Zaiyuan said: "Then let's move things in." ”

Niu Ba beckoned everyone to do it together: "Let's move in all the things sent by Mr. Tian Zaiyuan." ”

The crowd was elated and came to help.

Niu Ba said to Tian Zaiyuan: "Mr. Tian is too cold outside, let's go to the temple to talk." ”

Niu Ba said as he walked: "Mr. Tian, I think so, after driving Shangguanhu away, we will strive to unite all walks of life to achieve Wuling autonomy, and the members of our society all believe that Wuling can take the lead in self-government, become an example of the eastern soil, and be the first in the world." ”

Tian Zaiyuan asked thoughtfully: "Xiaoba, you said you were going to drive Shangguan Hu out of Wuling Province?" ”

Niu Badao: "Yes, haven't we been busy with this all the time?" ”

Tian Zaiyuan continued: "Then have you ever thought about which province you want to drive Shangguan Hu to? ”

These words stopped Niu Ba, Tian Zaiyuan stopped and shook his hand, and said with a wry smile: "You must not drive him to our Hengshan County, otherwise we will have to continue to 'fight tigers' like you." Niu Ba heard that Tian Zaiyuan had something to say, but he didn't understand the meaning of Tian Zaiyuan's words for a while.

Tian Zaiyuan continued: "Mr. Bao Cheng doesn't like to sit and talk about it, but now I like to talk more and more about the Fire Spirit Righteous Path to save the people, do you think, is it useful just to appeal to the official master?" It's useless, these old men's eardrums are all made of iron, it's like a thick shield, and we have to use the sharpest knife to pierce this thick shield. ”

Niu Ba's heart suddenly brightened, and he smiled: "It's hard to imagine that this is a metaphor made up by a university researcher. ”

Tian Zaiyuan said: "Xiaoba, do you know? I'm a book manager, so my least favorite thing is to dance with a knife and a gun, but at the moment I think that maybe only after a knife and a gun can I become a real librarian. ”

Niu Baxi raised his eyebrows and said: "Sir, you not only brought charcoal fire and food, but also brought me new ideas, sir's words, I want to think about it carefully." ”

Tian Zaiyuan said: "Ah Xiaoba, I remember that when you used to work in my library, you often asked if you could lend you Zhu Fuzi's "Notes on the Four Books" to you. ”

Niu Ba scratched his head embarrassedly and smiled.

Tian Zaiyuan said: "I'll give you a gift today, as he spoke, he took out a delicate Song version of the book from his sleeve and handed it to Niu Ba.

Niu Ba was startled, knowing that the Song version of the book was worth the border city, and refused with both hands: "No, no, no, this can't be done." ”

Tian Zaiyuan continued: "Xiaoba, you are a young man with courage, ability and thought, the eastern soil has fallen to today, I hope you have to seize the time to think, not just think about the affairs of Wuling County, you have to think about the affairs of the whole world. Do you think I'm giving you a book? That's a responsibility I've given you. As he spoke, he handed the book to Niu Ba's hand.

Niu Ba did not refuse again this time, but took the book, he bowed deeply, and said to Tian Zaiyuan: "Thank you, Mr. for the book." ”

Tian Zaiyuan hurriedly clasped his hands together and said, "You're welcome." The reason why I gave you this gift is also to hope that you will learn from the sages and take the world as your own responsibility. ”

At this time, Dahan Dalian ran from a distance, shouting loudly as he ran: "Captain Niu! Captain Niu! Then he said to Mr. Tian: "Mr. Tian, Mr. Tian, your wife has come to see you, and she is looking for you in an emergency!" When Tian Zaiyuan heard this, he said to Niu Ba: "Xiaoba, then I will leave first." ”

Niu Babian followed Tian Zaiyuan's hurried footsteps and said, "Sir, I must send you off." ”

Tian Zaiyuan blocked Niu Badao: "Stay, stay." ”

Niu Ba looked at Tian Zaiyuan's back as he left in a hurry, and then looked at the "Four Books Collection Notes" in his hand, and his heart was surging for a while.

There was a knock on the door outside Guan Shouyi's house, and when Zhou Wanrui opened the door, he saw several soldiers standing outside the courtyard. When the soldier saw Zhou Wanrui, he asked arrogantly: "Does Guan Shouyi live here?" He's not at home? ”

Zhou Wanrui could only smile cautiously: "Master Jun, he is at home, at home, please please come inside." ”

A few of the soldiers swaggered out into the courtyard. Zhou Wanrui had to accompany him carefully, and explained in a chatter: "Mr. Guan, he is old and sick, his body is uncomfortable, and he is lying on the bed. ”

The leading soldier asked again, "What has he been doing at home these two days?" ”

Zhou Wanrui smiled: "What can he do as a poor literati?" I always read books and write, and I am a woman, and I don't know what he reads or writes. ”

The GI at the head asked, "Has he been dishonest lately?" ”

Zhou Wanrui replied: "This military master, look at what you said, he is an old and weak literati who can't even lift a knife to kill chickens, and he can hold a brush, what can the pen do?" He's been very honest lately, and he doesn't even come out of the door of the study, and he's been shrinking on the edge of the brazier on the desk on this cold day. ”

The soldier had already been impatient by Zhou Wanrui's chatter, so he took out a piece of paper and said, "That's okay, since that's the case, let's draw a charge." As he spoke, he pulled out a small piece of red clay. Zhou Wanrui used his thumb to draw a rhyme on the official document.
