Chapter 4: A Moment of Genius

At night, after Wang Xiulan finished telling Ah Chen's story, she tiptoed to close the door, just came to their room, and saw Chen Wentao sitting alone next to the window, the originally thin body with the cold moonlight should have revealed a lonely feeling, but Wang Xiulan didn't have time to feel the emotions he revealed, but was taken aback: "Hey, you haven't slept so late?" You didn't sleep, you didn't sleep, I slept first. As he spoke, he lay down neatly on the bed and covered with a quilt.

The night in the countryside is the quietest, and the cicadas can be heard in the silence; The night in the countryside is the most noisy, and all that can be heard is the chirping of cicadas.

"What are you bothering about?" Wang Xiulan, who was lying on the bed, finally couldn't help but ask. But there was only silence in response to her.

"There are some things that we can only help you if you say them." Wang Xiulan lifted the quilt covering her face and looked in the direction of Chen Wentao in the dark.

Chen Wentao sighed, and finally said softly: "What do you say he should do at Ah Chen's age?" Over the years, time has passed little by little, and Ah Chen has grown up little by little. But as time goes by, the child grows up, I don't know why, Chen Wentao's heart also feels more and more indebted, like a huge whirlpool, constantly devouring everything around it, and after swallowing it, not only does it not fill it, but makes it more hungry.

"Perhaps...... Be...... School? Wang Xiulan thought twice and gave her own answer. But the person she was talking to was silent again, and she couldn't tell if the answer was right or wrong.

"Don't worry, it's okay. In this way, the village is very busy these days, so you should stay here and do some work. I'll go to the county tomorrow and make an inquiry. Wang Xiulan persuaded, "Now, let's go to bed first." ”

Sure enough, tomorrow when Ah Chen gets up, his dear grandmother will disappear, and he screams to check every room, shouting, "Grandpa, grandpa, where is my grandma?" ”

At this time, other people's grandfathers just rushed over to give him a slap and said, "Calling grandpa, you still want to find grandma, right?!" But Chen Wentao took the coat he was wearing, walked up to Ah Chen with a smile and said, "Your grandmother went to the county." Have you forgotten, she specifically told you when she left. ”

Ah Chen then remembered that his grandmother seemed to have said something to him when he was still unconscious, and he subconsciously agreed before he could hear clearly, these were not dreams. Ah Chen scratched his head in embarrassment, and saw that Chen Wentao on the side was already dressed and ready to go out, so he asked, "Grandpa, do you want to go out?" ”

Chen Wentao patted Ah Chen's little brain: "Silly boy, I'm going to the village today, you stay and look after the house." After speaking, Chen Wentao also went out.

It's okay now, Ah Chen is the only one in the family. He squatted in the courtyard boredly, grabbed a stone and threw it forward. He didn't know what the meaning of this move was, he just wanted to play casually. Then he grabbed another pebble and threw it, and grabbed it, and threw it...... They all left early in the morning and didn't play with me. Thinking of this, Ah Chenshun waved his hand towards the lamp in the courtyard-

The lights are on.

Even though it's daytime, the change in brightness is still very sensitive. Ah Chen turned his head to look, and sure enough, the lamp behind him stubbornly exuded its own light under the scorching sun. Surprised and delighted, he waved at the lamp again, and it meekly went out.

After a child has just learned something, he must try it several times. After trying a few more times, Ah Chen couldn't help but feel complacent when it came to turning on and off the lights. I was a genius as my grandmother said! Now, the first thing that this proud genius thinks of is to show off to his friends. However, Ah Chen did not forget to turn off the lights before leaving. (Saving electricity, starting with me)

"What's the matter, Ah Chen, why are you calling everyone out in such a hurry?" Ah Shun said.

"Hehe," Ah Chen stood on the big stone at the entrance of the village, lowered his head and looked at the others, feeling the gaze of everyone, thinking that this is the treatment that a genius should have. "I'm telling you, I've learned to turn on the lights!"

In Ah Chen's own opinion, this news should be like a bombshell for other friends, setting off a huge wave in their hearts, so that they will only look forward to it in the future, from then on he let them go east, they will never go west, he let them go south, they can't go north...... (300 words omitted here)

"Oh, yes, I'll too."

No, they must have heard it wrong, what they said should be "Ah Chen, you are so good, you will be our boss in the future." ”

"What is there to show off when the lights are turned on."

Wrong.

"I'll turn on the lights too...... Have you just learned? ”

Even Yaya?!

Ah Chen's heart fell to the bottom all of a sudden, and his body slumped on the stone, following its outline all the way to the ground. Thus, the shortest-lived genius in the world was born!

No one paid attention to Ah Chen, who was lying on the ground, Ah Shun turned around to leave: "It's okay, I'm going home, my clothes at home haven't been washed yet." Ah Chen bounced up from the ground as if he was full of clockwork, and hugged Ah Shun's waist from behind: "Don't go, play for a while." "Hey, get up, dirty!"

After some tugging, Ah Shun finally got Ah Chen off himself. Ah Chen didn't dwell too much anymore, but pointed a finger at the sky, and said with full vitality: "Okay, let's set off towards the depths of the forest!" ”

Ah Chen's sudden words confused everyone else, Niu Niu's first reaction was to tremble a few times, and he said very unconfidently: "Don't do it...... My dad found out and had to beat me up. ”

"Just don't tell him?" Ah Chen said with a relaxed face, but Niu Niu was obviously not convinced, and shrunk his neck but stopped talking.

"Let's go, didn't Uncle Xing also enter the forest once a few days ago, didn't he come out without anything at all? As long as we are careful, nothing will happen. ”

Ah Chen set his eyes on Xiao Guang, because he knew that Xiao Guang was at the forefront of everything. Sure enough, Xiaoguang didn't disappoint him, "Okay, let's take a look, let's retreat if it's in danger." ”

"Still no, the adults won't let us in." Yaya said.

"I don't care, just don't leave me alone." Ah Shun neither agreed nor refused.

In the end, although Yaya voted against, Xiaoguang agreed, and Ah Shun abstained, but everyone still did not resist Ah Chen's soft grinding and hard bubbles, and everyone began to walk towards the forest.

At this time, not far from the entrance of the village, a group of newborn ants also left their nests and went to explore unknown areas.
