Shen Yuzhou didn't go out in the room all the time, and when he saw her come back, he looked out of the window vigilantly.

Maybe it was because he was confident that they couldn't escape, or maybe he didn't want his family to be suspicious, Wu Da didn't send someone to guard them, which made it much easier for the two to talk.

Xiao Yunjiao sat on the edge of the bed, looked around at the small but neat and clean room, and said, "It's so strange. ”

Shen Yuzhou nodded, "I just observed it in the house, and there is no trace of a bandit's nest here, it is just the furnishings that an ordinary farmer would have." Looking at the behavior of Fang Cai Chunxia and the other women in the village, it was as if they didn't know that the men in the village were robbing their homes outside. ”

Xiao Yunjiao said: "I just chatted with the two children for a while, and Wu Da still knows a few words, which is not quite consistent with the mountain bandits in my impression." What's more, they only took the two of us back to the village, where did Fourth Brother Guo go? ”

Shen Yuzhou shook his head, "It's too weird here, let's hold on first." ”

Before Xiao Yunjiao could speak, he heard a faint quarrel from the stove. She glanced at Shen Yuzhou, who pushed the window open a crack and was looking out.

Across a courtyard, the sound of the stove can't be heard really, and occasionally Chunxia's voice can be heard a few degrees higher saying something like "child, in the future" or something.

Shen Yuzhou closed the window and shook his head at her, "Most of them won't do anything to us, I guess they will come and let us write a letter later." ”

Xiao Yunjiao was about to ask this, "Where are you going to send the letter?" ”

Everyone in Jiazhou City knows that Orchid Garden is now the Qincha Mansion, and the government can't even mention it, let alone send a letter to the capital...... Once their identities are revealed, these bandits will not let them leave alive no matter what.

"I've thought about it for a long time, we can send the letter to the Zhao family." Shen Yuzhou said.

The Zhao family?

Xiao Yunjiao was stunned for a moment, then she thought that he was talking about her mother's mother's family, she thought for a while and asked, "Can the Zhao family help us, you already have a candidate?" ”

After a pause, she asked again, "Is it uncle?" ”

Her uncle lives alone in the suburbs of Beijing, and only by delivering letters to him can he send a distress signal without revealing his identity.

Shen Yuzhou nodded, "I can only gamble now, if this mountain bandit leader doesn't recognize a few words, then he will definitely not be able to see secret words such as hiding his head, I will let my uncle go to Shen Mansion and Princess Mansion for help." ”

Xiao Yunjiao said: "Be safe, find an opportunity to test Wu Da and then talk about it." ”

Just like that, there was a knock on the door outside. Shen Yuzhou got up to open the door, and saw Chunxia and Wu Da standing at the door together.

"Brother, sister, it's time to eat." Chunxia said to them with a smile on her face.

Seeing this, Xiao Yunjiao spoke, "Thank you, sister-in-law, let's go out." ”

Wu Da and his family led the two to the hall, and as soon as Xiao Yunjiao entered the room, he saw a table of dishes.

…… Is the hostage treated so well now?

As soon as she sat down, Chunxia added food and poured wine, and she didn't know that she thought they were the guests of the Wu family.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, Xiao Yunjiao secretly exchanged a look with Shen Yuzhou, and began to speculate about the intentions of the two opposite.

Chunxia didn't let her guess for long, and when she saw that everyone was almost finished, she opened her mouth, "Sister, in fact, my sister-in-law has something to ask you." ”

Xiao Yunjiao glanced at Wu Da, who was silent on the other side, he kept his head down and didn't look here, and he didn't warn her with his eyes anymore.

So she spoke, "Sister-in-law, but it's okay to say." ”

Chunxia clasped her fingers nervously, "That's the case, you saw my two children just now." His father and I are both people who have never read a book, and his father can still read a few words, let alone me, he is blind. ”

"So I thought...... Sister, it will take a while for your family to pick up people, can you ...... Teach two children to read and write? Chunxia cautiously added, "Don't ask them to get ahead, just be able to recognize a few words." ”

Xiao Yunjiao pondered for a moment, and replied with a smile: "Of course we can, it is already a great favor for us to be rescued by Brother Wu, and we have to bother here for many days, and we don't want to go, we can do something, and we won't waste our time." ”

Wu Da glanced up at her in some surprise, Chunxia breathed a sigh of relief, and Shen Yuzhou sat next to Xiao Yunjiao, taking in the expressions of the two.

"Brother Wu and sister-in-law Wu rest assured, our husband and wife may not be able to do other things well, but we read a lot, and we can teach the two children together." Shen Yuzhou said, "Where is the child?" We can start teaching today. ”

The smile on Chunxia's face stretched even more, "The children are playing outside, I'll call them back." ”

So saying, she got up and went out to look for the child.

When her figure walked away, Wu Da spoke, "What the hell are you two doing?" ”

Shen Yuzhou said softly: "Master Wu misunderstood, people are under the roof, we just want to be comfortable." ”

Wu Da stared at them for a long time, lowered his voice and warned: "You'd better not think about any crooked thoughts, you teach the children seriously, I won't embarrass you, when the ransom arrives, let's get together and disperse." ”

Shen Yuzhou smiled, "Naturally, do your best." ”

Chunxia came back with the two children, stood in front of Shen Yuzhou and Xiao Yunjiao and urged: "Dabao Xiaobao, hurry, call Mr." ”

The two children should have listened to Chunxia talk about literacy outside, and they bowed in an unfamiliar but orderly manner, "I've seen Mr." ”

Xiao Yunjiao accepted the salute, "Get up." Wu Chou Wu worried, from today onwards, you are going to start to read, literacy and reading is very hard, can you persevere? ”

Wu Chou nodded obediently.

Xiao Yunjiao smiled kindly, Chong Chunxia nodded and said, "Mr. wants to test you, do you have any words you recognize now?" ”

Xiao Wu Wu opened his mouth first, "I know my name and my brother's name, as well as the spring in my mother's name." ”

Wu Chou also said, "I also know what she knows, and I also know big, small, and flowery ......."

He knows more words, but they are all simple words that can't be simpler.

Xiao Yunjiao touched their heads, "You guys are so good, you already know so many words at such a young age, who taught you?" ”

Wu Wei smiled sweetly, "Daddy taught me." ”

Shen Yuzhou complimented, "Brother Wu teaches his son well. ”

Wu Da didn't put on a cold face in front of Chunxia, and replied, "Born in the countryside, I can't recognize a few words, I listen to them when I go out, and the two children still have to count on Mr." ”

Xiao Yunjiao glanced at Shen Yuzhou, the other party nodded at her invisibly, she pulled the two children to get up and said, "Then Sister-in-law Wu, I will take the two children to school, and ask my sister-in-law to find a place for us." ”

Chunxia led them to the empty house to the east.

There were no beds, just a square table by the window, a wooden cabinet, and miscellaneous things piled up in the corner.

"The girl laughed, there is no study or anything in the village, and there is no one living in this house, so there are some miscellaneous items." Chunxia cleaned up the table and took out a set of four treasures from the cabinet.

Xiao Yunjiao looked at it, the four treasures of the study room are not good, but they are not particularly bad, and they are commonly used in Mongolian studies today. It can be seen that although these two people have not read books, they have some considerations for the future of their children.

She sat down at the table, "Sister-in-law is out." By the way, I see that there are a lot of children in the village, so I didn't think about finding a gentleman? ”

Chunxia sighed, "There is no one in our village who knows how to read." ”

Xiao Yunjiao took this to heart, didn't ask too much, picked up the ink block and began to teach the two children to study ink.

"We use ink to write on paper, look at it, add a few drops of water first, and then grind it in one direction with ink strips, not too fast, not ......in a hurry," she said and did, her movements were like flowing water, even if she was wearing coarse linen clothes, she could not hide her innate bearing.

Chunxia was stunned, and even the two little ones stared at them quietly.

"The ink is almost like this, so pick up the ink strip and set it aside, and we can start writing."

Xiao Yunjiao picked up the pen, weighed the weight and said to Chunxia, "This pen is a little heavier, adults can use it, and the two children may be a little laborious." I'll write some out first and teach them to recognize them, and if I have the chance, I can prepare two lighter pens for my children. ”

Chunxia nodded in response.

Soaking the tip of the pen in water, and soaking it with freshly ground ink, Xiao Yunjiao lifted his wrist lightly on the paper, and silently picked up the "Three Character Classic" one by one.

After writing a few paragraphs, she put down the pen, dried the ink marks on the paper, picked it up, and read it to the two children, word by word.

Her voice was very soft, and the "Three Character Classic" was also catchy, and Wu Chou and Wu Wu began to read along after listening to it twice.

"At the beginning of people, nature is good, sex is similar, and Xi is far away......"

The voices of the three people are harmoniously intertwined, filling the whole room with the atmosphere of reading. In this case, another small, almost self-muttering voice also sounded, very slightly, but Xiao Yunjiao heard it.

She looked at Chunxia with some surprise, the other party smiled embarrassedly, and then prepared to go out.

"Sister-in-law Wu."

Xiao Yunjiao stopped her.

"You can stay with me too, I'm afraid I won't be able to take care of the two children."

She made an excuse.

Chunxia grinned, "Hey! ”

Soon, the sound of the four people reading was heard again in this small room.

Outside the house, Shen Yuzhou sat in the courtyard and watched Wu Da take the wood and carve something.

"Brother Wu, this is going to make a Trojan horse for the children?" He asked, after a moment's pause.

Wu Da raised his eyes and glanced at him, "You are really not afraid of death." ”

Shen Yuzhou smiled, "Brother Wu said that he laughed, if you want to die, you won't bring us here." ”

He also took a piece of wood and began to sharpen it, "You are a good father. ”

Wu Da stopped what he was doing, got up silently and went back to the house, and when he came back, he had a few more pieces of paper and a piece of charcoal in his hand.

"Write it."

Shen Yuzhou took it and looked at it for a while with a long strip of charcoal before saying, "I won't use it." ”

Wu Da looked at him coldly, "It's really a young master." ”

snatched the charcoal from Shen Yuzhou's hand, and Wu Da left a sentence, "I'll go to that house and write later." Then he walked out of the yard, and he didn't know where he went.
