Qin Xun wrote a deed of sale, read it in front of Liu Xi and Liu Xiniang, and sold his body for ten taels of silver.

The sixth aunt cried a lot, but she didn't succeed in stopping Liu Xi, and after seeing Liu Xi decisively press her fingerprints, she knew that things had no turnaround, so she stopped crying. Liu Xi gave the ten taels of silver given by Qin Xun and the ten taels of silver obtained from Yanzi's family to the sixth aunt, and the sixth aunt left crying with the silver.

Liu Xi sat in the hall and looked at the door for a long time, and if his mother resolutely stopped him from selling himself, he would feel better.

Qin Xun took the deed of sale and handed it to Liu Xi: "Here you go." ”

Liu Xi was stunned: "I'm ...... Let's put it here with my sister-in-law first, and then exchange this paper when I have saved enough ten taels of silver. ”

He sighed dejectedly, although it was to get rid of the Xiao family's temporary idea, he also knew that Qin Xun would not go to the official mansion to confirm his nationality, but it was still very uncomfortable to really sign the deed of sale, especially his mother's attitude made him feel cold like falling into an ice cellar.

Qin Xun smiled indifferently: "My mother is deeply suffering from the deed of sale, and you call us brother and sister-in-law, how can I want you to sell yourself to me?" ”

"Huh?" Liu Xi didn't understand what Qin Xun meant, and looked at her a little blankly.

"If you learn these words within a month, I'll arrange a good errand for you." Qin Xun put the "deed of sale" on the table, and said: "If you don't read, you are blind, you see, you don't even know what is written on the deed of sale, and you dare to press your handprint casually, so you are not afraid that it will harm your life?" ”

Liu Xi's face flushed, and he scratched the back of his head embarrassedly: "My sister-in-law is a good person, so naturally she won't harm me." ”

Qin Xun stood up and walked towards the backyard: "I'm not a good person, don't expect to live by the kindness of others, the mountains will fall, the water will flow, and relying on yourself is the foundation of the foothold." ”

Waiting for people to walk away, Liu Xi slowly got up, walked over and took the deed of sale to see, the handwriting on it was very neat, Liu Xi was illiterate, he only felt that these words were very good-looking.

After a few moments, he carefully folded the paper and turned to run towards Xuan Miaoguan.

When I found a literate Taoist and took it out for advice, the Taoist inexplicably said that this was a thousand-character text for children's enlightenment.

"A thousand-word essay?" Liu Xi was stunned for a long time, before that, he had never felt that there was anything wrong with being illiterate, and he had never even thought about how to live a better life in the future.

He had been here for a few days, and there were many spices and incense in the jars. He knew that these were valuable things, Qin Xun asked him to be optimistic, he didn't dare to be careless, he didn't dare to sleep deeply, he just wanted to be optimistic.

But he had never thought to touch it to find out what it was.

Xiao Chenyu once tried to teach him to read and write, but he refused; Xiao Chenyu once asked him to plan his future days, but he only said that he would be able to get married in the future, and it would be good to have a piece of land to plant.

He didn't know what the use of reading was, but now Qin Xun said that he had recognized words and arranged things for him to do, which gave him motivation and hope.

At this time, Liu Xi's heart was full of admiration and gratitude for Qin Coriander. It wasn't for the deed of sale to become a thousand-character text, nor was it the unknown good errand, but he seemed to see the road ahead.

I happily went out of the Taoist temple and saw many people gathered in front of the wishing fountain. Liu Xi leaned over to look at the excitement and found that it was a woman who fell into the wishing fountain, but no one in the circle of people watching the excitement went down to save people, leaving only the girl to cry for help while jumping to her feet.

After listening to it for a while, Liu Xi finally understood. It turned out that since Qin Coriander fell into the water and was rescued by Xiao Chenyu, and instead achieved a good marriage, three women have fallen into the water in the past few days, and the first two have been rescued in time, but the follow-up is not known yet.

Liu Xi asked the person next to him: "In this case, why didn't anyone go down to save her?" ”

The man touched his chin and said, "Hehe, if the one below is one that looks more marky, it is estimated that a big man will have to jump down, and you and I are afraid that we will not even be able to get to the side." ”

Liu Xi glanced at the super obese woman below and nodded in agreement. Such a woman must be very able to eat, and if she is saved, she will marry home, who can afford it in an ordinary family? And if the family with better conditions needs to marry a daughter-in-law in this way?

After watching the excitement for a while, the Taoist priest who was still mystical came out and put the ladder down, and let the woman climb up the stairs by herself.

The first month of the year starts, and the words sting. Everything is shocked, and the earthquake is thunder, so it is called stunning. Stinging insects and snakes come out, startling dead grass and trees.

The sting is a big day. Is the sun shining on this day? Whether the first spring thunder resounded across the earth on this day is directly related to this year's harvest and whether everyone can be fed and clothed?

On the day of stinging, people will hold incense and wormwood to smoke the four corners of the house to drive away snakes, insects, rats, ants and musty smells with fragrance. Over time, it gradually evolved into the habit of slapping haters and driving away bad luck by those who don't go well, which is the predecessor of "beating villains"; It means to drive away the villains around you, vent your anger, and pray for good luck in the New Year.

Xiao Chenyu returned home on the day of the sting, and took Su and Aunt Sang back.

Su Shi wore a hat on his head, and no one saw him when he sat in the car all the time.

Su Shi, who had been away from home for a long time, returned home, only feeling comfortable, but he was also wearing a hat at home, otherwise he would hide in the house and not come out to see people.

Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xun smoked the front and back yards of the house together, and even the cellar lit a furnace of incense and burned it slowly.

Then I went to Xuanmiaoguan, and saw that Liu Xi had already carefully smoked the corners and sprinkled lime.

Xiao Chenyu saw the dog-like words on the table, a little strange, and asked Liu Xi why he suddenly started to learn to write, Liu Xitong blushed and didn't say much, Qin Xun told Xiao Chenyu the antecedents of the matter in a few words, Xiao Chenyu looked at Liu Xi's gaze and couldn't say a word.

"I've persuaded you to read many times, but you didn't listen, but now it's suddenly serious, but it's not too late, I'll help you write a copy of the post, you write it, don't want such a word to be as big as a cow, but small as a ball of ink."

Liu Xi followed the Taoist to learn to recognize words, and came back to practice with the comparison, the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone were sent by Qin Coward, although it was a cheap pen, ink, and paper inkstone for children's enlightenment, but Liu Xi cherished it very much, and the front and back were written, and the corners and corners were filled, so it looked like a mess.

Now that Xiao Chenyu and Su Shi are back, Liu Xi also closed the door and went over together to have a lively holiday.

Su and Aunt Sang were very emotional, the family had not been so lively for a long time.

That night, the thunder shook the sky, and everyone put on their clothes to look at the window, and their faces were full of joy, even if the people in the town did not have fields, they still hoped that the wind and rain would be smooth, otherwise everyone would suffer if the price of food rose.

Xiao Chenyu and Qin Xun didn't get up, and the husband and wife, who hadn't seen each other for many days, were busy keeping warm, and when they heard the rolling thunder, they were even more interested.

In the middle of the night, there was a noisy sound of people outside, and the town said that it was not big or small, and that it was fine during the day, but if there was some movement at night, it would soon be noisy for the whole town to know.

Qin Xun heard the movement in a daze, and as soon as she moved, she was hugged tightly by Xiao Chenyu, patted her on the back and let her continue to sleep, and soon, the two fell asleep.

Su Shi also heard it, and woke up the sleeping Aunt Sang, who listened to the movement, went out in her clothes and took a look in the yard, and found that the movement was far away from home, so she was not interested in inquiring, and was ready to go back to sleep.

Xiao Chenyu coaxed Qin Xun to sleep, quietly dressed and came out, and happened to meet Aunt Sang, so he whispered: "Please Aunt Sang help guard the door, I'll go and see what happened?" ”

opened the door and came out, and it happened that Xiao Hanyang also opened the door and came out, and saw Xiao Chenyu hurriedly shouting: "Uncle, what are you going to see?" I'll go too, just in time for us to have a companion. ”

Xiao Chenyu ignored him and hurriedly ran forward, leaving only one sentence: "What are you doing with it?" ”
