The gruel turned into water in the middle of the road, making Wu Jin's stomach gurgle, but he ran faster and faster - there was only one engraving office in Kuanzhou, and if you want to pick up the waste paper they discarded, you have to pick it up as soon as possible.

The spring is about to pass, but the sky has not completely warmed up, it is still sunny and rainy, today is the drizzle, he gritted his teeth in the rain, resisted the wet cold, ran to the back door of the engraving office, and picked up a pile of waste paper from under the porch, half a finger thick.

The front is printed with the "Summary of Shooting", which is discarded because there are many typos, but the back is not empty, but it is reprinted with the grain collection book of Kuanzhou in the past few years, and it is written with the words "a few stones in each of the six southern counties".

After he took it back, he had to cut off the empty paper at the end and press it flat before it could be used for writing.

After picking up the paper, he was slower on the way back, like a drizzle, silently passing under countless porches, and when he was about to go to the state school, he suddenly saw Mo Lingfeng.

Mo Lingfeng was alone, rented a donkey from nowhere, rode on the donkey, held an umbrella with one hand, and was walking towards the Yuxi River.

Wu Jin looked around, but didn't see the guards who followed.

"Miss Mo." He walked out of the porch and called out to Mo Leaf.

Mo Lingfeng turned his head to look at him, took the umbrella, and tried to hold the donkey at the same time - but the donkey was stubborn, not fighting, not leaving, fighting backwards, letting it stop, but it was about to take two steps.

Finally restrained the donkey, she bared her teeth and smiled: "Wu Jin." ”

Her teeth were so bad and crumbling that she couldn't help but stick out her tongue to lick them, and her lips became dry because of it.

After licking it, she suddenly remembered something, her face changed, and she glared at Wu Jin: "I won't play with you anymore." ”

Then he whipped the donkey hard, to go forward, a whip down, the effect was remarkable, the donkey turned on the spot, Mo Lingfeng had no choice, but to sigh angrily, and lick his teeth again.

That tooth hangs dangerously in the mouth, but it doesn't fall out.

Wu Jin only felt that she looked innocent and cute, but it was inconvenient to laugh, so she could only hang her head and not look at her: "Don't lick your teeth, otherwise it will grow crooked, why are you going?" ”

Mo Lingfeng controlled his tongue and replied with great momentum: "My brother is sick, I will go to Xiongshan Temple and draw a sign for my brother." ”

Wu Jin didn't expect Mo Qianlan to get sick, and hurriedly asked, "Is it seriously ill?" ”

Mo Lingfeng first shook his head: "The doctor said it is not serious. ”

After finishing speaking, she immediately nodded again: "Of course it is very heavy in my heart." ”

After that, she took out a piece of white starch candy from her sleeve pocket, stretched out her arm, and wanted to give it to Wu Jin, Wu Jin reached out to take it, but unexpectedly, she said "hey", and even her body was crooked, and she stuffed the white starch candy into his mouth.

She sat back and opened her mouth to show Wu Jin her teeth: "Sticky teeth, give it to you." ”

At this moment, the donkey suddenly opened his mind, flicked his tail, and staggered away.

Wu Jin was full of sweetness, and when she stood in place, she saw Mo Lingfeng alone, sitting alone on the back of a donkey, holding an umbrella in a crooked manner, and wanted to ask her brother for a sign.

The shadow of the donkey disappeared, and in the end, only Wu Jin fell in the rain.

Wu Jin's mood was suddenly depressed, and the desolation of the Mo family spread to him through the lonely Mo Lingfeng, and reason told him that the Mo family was a magnificent abyss, but his heart was uncontrollably soft.

He entered the state school, and after a day of class, he asked to see the mountain chief, talked to the mountain chief for two quarters of an hour, and went to Mofu Jiaomen to see Yin Bei, and when he rushed home, Wu Yi had already returned from selling cakes, and Wu's mother was about to set the meal.

Wu Jin hugged Wu's father into the chair and served food to Wu's father, so that he could eat more comfortably, and when he was almost done, he put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Dad, mother, I still decided to go to Mofu to be a servant." ”

With a "snap", Wu's mother slapped her chopsticks on the table, her withered yellow face became alive in an instant, and her cloudy eyes flashed with a light that could not be ignored: "No!" ”

Wu Yi was so frightened that he put down the bowl carefully, holding back his surging appetite, and secretly happy in his heart.

Mother Wu had a cold face: "We worked hard for you to study, not to make you willing to be cheap, but to make you get ahead!" If you go to be a servant, even if you pass the exam in the future, you won't be able to straighten your waist! ”

"I'm frank and open, and I'm not afraid of what people say," Wu Jin explained softly, "I've already told the governor of the state school that I won't go to class tomorrow." ”

"You!" Mother Wu didn't expect him to cut first and then play, so she couldn't sit still in anger, stood up suddenly, reached out to grab Wu Jin's clothes, and dragged her out, "Let's go, let's go to the mountain chief, you are young and ignorant, this kind of big thing is not for you to call the shots." ”

Wu Jin stood up according to Wu's mother's strength, staggered two steps, and when she saw that she would not trip Wu's mother, she made up her mind: "A-Niang, I have already made up my mind." ”

He has a lot of strength, once he stood still, Wu's mother also dragged him not to move, stomped his feet angrily, and beat him twice: "Shallow eyelids, where is the Mo family so kind!" Mrs. Huang told me, there is no incense in that festival, just a girl, people see that you are honest, and they want to recruit you to the door! ”

Speaking of this, she suddenly felt full of hatred - hating her family for being too poor, hating Wu's father for breaking his leg, and hating Wu Jin for being ignorant.

The son-in-law who intervened in the door was going to be laughed at for several lifetimes.

Thinking of this, she immediately became sad, and many tears rolled out of her eyes, thinking that Wu Jin's "ignorance" was all because he was too sensible.

She stretched out her hand to smooth Wu Jin's clothes, and couldn't help crying: "My son, I've suffered you, it's all useless for my father and mother!" ”

Father Wu sighed low and was silent.

After Wu Jin heard this roar, his heart was calm, he was about to be a servant, no matter how treacherous it was, it would not be more difficult than at this time.

He calmly led his mother back to her seat, and his voice was gentle: "Dad, mother, I'm not for the silver, if it's for the silver, I should have gone down yesterday, don't listen to other people's nonsense, I'm not here to do the inverted door, Mo Jiedu's sister is only eight years old, as old as him." ”

He stretched out his hand and pointed at Wu Yi.

Wu Mu gradually calmed down in his voice, and Wu Jin also said that famous teachers are rare, if they can get a point or two, it is better than studying in the state several times.

It took a lot of words to calm the two elders before he returned to his house.

It was already dark, so he lit the oil lamp, spread out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wanted to write a diary.

It's just that Wu Yi asked questions around him, and the excited noise kept going, and his mind that he had finally gathered was scattered.

He was tired and felt like a trapped beast, so he rubbed his forehead vigorously, took out the waste paper he picked up today, and asked Wu Yi to help cut out the blank head and tail parts and leave them for backup.

Waiting for Wu Yi to work hard, he gathered his scattered thoughts again, and wrote: "On March 23, the twentieth year of Yuanzhang, drizzle, I agreed with Yin Bei to go to Mofu to be a servant the day after tomorrow. ”
