Zhao Rui was attracted by Zhao Yu's voice, turned his head and saw that it was Zhao Yu, and immediately ran over and grabbed Zhao Yu's arm:

"Xiao Yu, did you go to listen to the old gentleman's story?"

"Yes! Didn't you go? That's right! I didn't seem to see you when I listened to the story before, what are you doing? ”

Zhao Yu looked innocent.

"Today it is my turn to irrigate water! My mother pressed me to watch here, and she didn't allow me to listen to the story, lest someone steal the water! ”

Zhao Rui looked indignant, and then hurriedly shook Zhao Yu's arm:

"Let's not talk about that! Tell me what story the old gentleman told today? Tell me about it! ”

"Oh!"

Zhao Yu glanced at the large paddy fields under the soil slope, and then pouted arrogantly:

"Let me tell you, the old gentleman told a story about cultivating immortals today!"

"A long, long time ago, there was a young man who was chased and killed by the enemy, and then fell off the cliff, but he did not die, but fell into a cave, and found a profound secret book in the cave......"

"Later, he cultivated successfully, a flying sword went to the sky and the earth, omnipotent, invincible, and directly wiped out the family that chased him with a sword, and since then he has traveled the world, smiling proudly, and being worshiped by countless people!"

Zhao Yu finished speaking in one breath, even with paintings, and his blood was boiling, and Zhao Rui's chest rose and fell when he heard it.

And after finishing speaking, Zhao Yu thought of something again, and suddenly became excited:

"Brother Rui, I won't tell you! After listening to the story, they have already gone to those caves in the back mountain to find cheats! I'm going to go back, and I'm going to go right away, or they're going to get the first shot!" ”

"You lie, we've all been to those caves in the back mountain, and there are no cheats at all!"

Zhao Rui grabbed Zhao Yu and didn't let go.

"Oops! In the past, we were going to play, but we didn't look for it seriously, maybe there were hidden in those stone crevices! I won't tell you, I'm going to hurry! ”

Zhao Yu shook off Zhao Rui's hand, then ran towards the house quickly, and disappeared into a corner of the dirt wall in the blink of an eye.

Looking at the direction Zhao Yu left, Zhao Rui hesitated for a moment, and then looked at the direction of the paddy field under the soil slope behind him.

In the end, Zhao Rui gritted his teeth and rushed to the back mountain behind Zhaojiagou.

As soon as Zhao Ruigang left, Zhao Yu's little head poked out from behind the earthen wall in the corner.

After glancing around, and seeing that there was no one, Zhao Yu's body shook and rushed down the dirt slope opposite, and rushed into the grove under the dirt slope.

After a while, Zhao Yu's figure sneaked up from under the dirt slope, patted the dust on his little hands, and walked home appropriately.

When passing by the Zhao family's old house, Zhao Yu saw Chen washing clothes in front of the courtyard.

It's just that today, in addition to glancing at Zhao Yu's house a few times, Chen also looked in the direction of the paddy field under the soil slope from time to time.

Even if he can't see his own paddy field from this location, Chen has to look at it twice before he can rest assured.

But seeing Zhao Yu, Chen smiled cordially again:

"Xiao Yu, are you going to listen to the old gentleman's story again?"

"Yes, auntie!"

Zhao Yu smiled sweetly, looking like he didn't know the grievances between the elders.

Seeing Zhao Yu's appearance, Chen glanced at him reproachfully:

"Xiao Yu! If your mother doesn't talk about you, your aunt can't help but say a word about you! You're also eight years old, you're a little adult, it's time to do something for your family, don't be playful! ”

Is this saying that I have no one to teach?

Zhao Yu's eyes were cold, but on the surface, he nodded with a smile:

"Got it, auntie!"

The voice fluttered, and Zhao Yu ran into his home a hundred meters away.

at home.

Zhao Yongzhuo is still weaving a dustpan, and Hu is cooking lunch.

At this time, ordinary people's families also have three meals a day.

Although Zhao Yu's family is struggling now, they still have three meals, but the amount is small.

And the staple food is still brown rice.

Although Zhao Yu does not know much about history, he also knows that at this time in the Ming Dynasty, high-yielding crops such as corn, potatoes and sweet potatoes had been introduced to China.

It's just that Zhao Yu searched in Zhaojiagou before, but he didn't find these three crops.

I don't know if Huguang is inland and has not yet been transmitted here, or because the people of Zhaojiagou have not introduced it.

And this is also one of the reasons why Zhao Yu wants to go to Changning County to have a look.

Secretly shook his head.

Zhao Yu went to the inner room to take a look at Zhao Yongzhuo's injuries, and then came to a tree in the courtyard.

Squatting in the shade of the tree, Zhao Yu picked up a suitable branch and began to practice calligraphy on the ground.

The way Zhao Yu holds the branch is the posture of holding the brush.

If you want to take the imperial examination, you not only need to learn, but also need beautiful handwriting.

Otherwise, no matter how good your knowledge is, the words are ugly and useless!

The examiner may not even read your essay and will be eliminated directly.

And Zhao Yu's calligraphy is very bad, so he can only practice hard.

Sketch on the ground one stroke at a time.

Zhao Yu's writing this time is no longer as crooked as the old gentleman's house, but looks like it.

There is no person who knows the goods like the old gentleman to watch, and Zhao Yu doesn't have to hide it.

Write seriously.

The tip of Zhao Yu's nose gradually soaked out fine beads, and his mind gradually rested on the branch in his hand.

Until a certain moment.

A rough voice at the door of the outhouse pulled Zhao Yu back to reality:

"What are you doing squatting there on a hot day?"

"I'm learning to write, the old gentleman just taught me today!"

Zhao Yu didn't look back, still scratching on the ground.

Hu Shi didn't say anything more, just stood at the door and looked at Zhao Yu who was squatting in the courtyard for a while, and then walked into the inner room.

Immediately afterward, a whisper came from the inner room:

"The old gentleman told me that Yu'er is very talented, and after learning words from him for two months, he can force himself to read......"

"Hmmm! It's a good thing that I have a unicorn at home... In this way, in the future, I will knit more dustpans and the like to sell, and save some money for Yu'er to go to Mengxue. ”

"Hmmm! When I have more money, I will buy a loom to weave and sell ......."

Zhao Yu listened to the whispers coming from the inner room, but there was no reaction, and he was still practicing his words seriously on the ground.

After lunch, I still practiced there.

Until it is getting westerly and slanting.

Zhao Yu was interrupted by a burst of scolding.

"This one who has received a thousand knives is despicable and shameless!"

The sound of shouting and scolding came from outside the hospital.

Zhao Yu looked out through the fence and saw Chen holding Zhao Rui by the hand and striding towards their house.

And when Zhao Yongzhuo and Hu heard the sound and walked out of the outhouse, Chen happened to kick open the courtyard door and walked in angrily.

"Zhao Hu, do you still want to be shameless? If you steal my irrigation water, aren't you afraid of drowning? ”

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Chen pointed at Hu and almost poked Hu on the brain.

Who is Hu? Immediately, his eyes widened, and his waist sprayed over:

"Fuck your shit! Do you think everyone is as filthy as you? You're shameless! ”

The two scolded each other.

Seeing this, Zhao Yongzhuo hurriedly limped between the two and said kind words to Chen:

"Sister-in-law, is there some misunderstanding? How could we possibly steal your water? And Yuxiu only went to the field to see it before, and the water inlets of our house are all dry, not new, can it be the appearance of stealing water? ”
