After Erzhu and Ergou finished speaking, Lin Piao didn't expect that Ergou's mouth had been practiced so neatly, and he knew how to advance and retreat so well, and he didn't love to fight at all after saying what he had to say, and gave them a thumbs up.

"Add dinner in the evening, you two go to class quickly, be careful when you go in this time, don't be caught by Shen Hongxian and ask about your homework."

Ergou still didn't panic at all, but Erzhu became nervous as soon as he heard this, and the two of them hurried back to the small private school over there.

After the students finished class, they ate a meal of roasted pork belly in the afternoon, with a few kinds of vegetable bean skin to relieve greasyness, and enough carbs to eat a full meal.

"If we wait for the snow to start and the snow accumulates, we will use the snow to build a big box out of it, and then we don't have to go to the butcher's shop all the time, but we can buy more meat and bones to freeze at a time, so that we can eat for a long time."

"It's good for you to do this, but in the future, when it snows, the road will be difficult to walk, and the meat will not be easy to buy, so it will be easy to freeze some and prepare it for eating."

When the students were satisfied, they went home with paper and bamboo slips in hand, and now was the most critical time, when they would study again, they would have to take the examination, and when the time came, they would determine the list of people who would take the examination according to how their knowledge was discharged, and the list of people who would take the examination should be determined according to the arrangement before and after, and when the time came, a letter with their names written on it would be handed out to the county lord before the heavy snow closed the mountain.

They now read day and night, during the day and at night, and they also read at night, so they want to see more and remember more.

After another two days, Lin Piao remembered that Shen Hong had entered puberty, called him to the door frame where they had memorized his height, and gave him another record of his height.

Shen Hong leaned against the door frame, and the height above his head had obviously exceeded the height line drawn last time.

"It's only been so long, and you've grown so much taller." Lin Piao pinched it with his fingers and showed it to him, about a centimeter or more, and he was growing up fast in this situation.

"I guess you're going to have to grow crazy next year."

"Why?"

Lin Piao opened his mouth to say, but thought of the mistake last time, and decided not to give him popular science physiology knowledge: "A boy of your age wants to grow taller, not to mention that he eats well now, what will he grow if he doesn't grow tall?" ”

Shen Hong listened to this, he also thought that he should be growing taller, and in the last night during the day, his leg always had a faint pain, but because it was not serious, he didn't say anything.

After the two of them finished recording their heights, they were ready to go into the house separately, it was dark early, and the gray crows in the sky lost their luster and looked sleepy, and as soon as it was dark outside, the night was very cold, and from time to time there was a cool breeze blowing, Lin Piao wrapped his clothes tightly and went back to the room first.

The kang has been burned warm, the quilt is also very soft and warm, into the warm quilt, the cold on the body will disperse at once, recently because it is too cold to climb the mountain, Lin Piao always felt that his body and back stiffened terribly, arched in the quilt stretched his legs, and then rolled around to relax his back, and when the whole body was warm, he began to shrink in the quilt and fell asleep groggy.

In his sleep, he always heard a slight noise.

He wondered if Shen Hong was still studying, why did he make a noise so late, what was Shen Hong doing?

He thought about it in a daze, and felt that it was time to get up and talk about him, so he sat up with the quilt in his arms, half asleep.

When he opened his eyes, he saw a faint black shadow in the room, and he was so frightened that he stopped breathing.

The black shadow moved, moved lightly to the corner, and crouched down.

Lin Piao rubbed his eyes and muttered, "Why hasn't Shen Hong slept yet." So saying, he got up and walked out.

The moment he went out, he let go of it, rushed to the place where the wood was stacked, picked out a long stick, and then crept to his door, holding the stick tightly in his hand, and listening to the rummaging sound of the rope with his ear against the wall.

"Catch the thief!" Lin Piao screamed, and then he heard the sound of something falling inside, and his footsteps rushed out.

Lin Piaocat saw his back running out from the side, grabbed the wooden stick and hit him twice on the back of the head, causing him to fall to the ground.

The lights in Shen Hong's house immediately turned on, and he rushed out with the lamp on, wearing only a thin undershirt, and the candle shone out, and his sister-in-law was beating the thief who was cowering on the ground with a stick.

After a while, Erzhu also rushed over, and his clothes were not neatly dressed: "My mother said that I heard my sister-in-law call you to catch the thief and call me to come and see!" When he saw the people on the ground, he came up with two feet: "Where did you come from, you don't have long eyes?" ”

As he was moving, the second aunt also rushed over with a lamp, and patted her chest in fright: "I said that I heard your voice screaming, I thought it was a dream, hurry up and come and see, damn it, light the lamp quickly, there is a thief!" ”

The second aunt scolded and shouted for a while, and all the houses in the neighborhood were lit up, and one by one they ran over with hoes and sticks.

"Where's the thief?!"

When he looked at Lin Piao, who was holding a stick in his hand, he had already pressed the thief to the ground, and the two pillars on the other side were guarding to turn him over, but the thief was lying on the ground and refused to move, shrinking into a ball and refusing to show his face.

Lin Piao pointed to the clothes on the second aunt, and the second aunt immediately understood what he meant, and turned her head to get the clothes for the second pillar.

Lin Piao also turned his head to look at Shen Hong: "You go into the house and get dressed, don't be cold." ”

Shen Hong nodded, went into the house, put on his winter clothes outside and came out.

The neighbors came up with lamps, and the whole yard was full of candle flames, and what they hated most was stealing things. ”

Several people turned him over together, and when they saw his face, the neighbors all turned pale and scolded: "Second brother, you want to be shameless!" You steal all the people in our own village! ”

It's not that there have been thieves in the village over the years, but there has never been a time when someone from an outside, or someone from another village has been hiding outside the village to steal something, and I have never seen anyone who would steal from his own village.

A group of people scolded again and again, and then saw that he was still holding something in his arms, so they stepped forward to pull it, and a ball of cloth was in his arms, and everyone thought that it was wrapped in silver when they opened it, but when they opened it, they saw that it was a thick autumn coat and a coat, and Lin Piao scolded angrily and took the clothes back.

"Rummaging through him, is there anything else on him, the money is not found, and he wants to run away after grabbing two clothes!"

The two young men in front ripped off his clothes and checked them inside out: "No, he was in a hurry to run, and he probably got his hands on it." ”

Lin Piao thought to himself that he was fortunate to have sorted out his things in the winter, and sorted out all the clothes into a box, and all the silver coins and money bags that were originally packed in the small cabinet outside were replaced in the big box at the bottom of the box.

Lin Piao patted his chest and saw that the sky was still dark, and there was not even a star in the sky, and it was the middle of the night.

"Then take him into custody first, don't be cold, wait until tomorrow we will go to the chief first, everyone go back to sleep." Lin Piao yawned: "Which house has an empty firewood house, the door is tighter, borrow it." ”

"Shut up my house, my door is new, and it can be tied tightly." The neighbor said.

"Okay." Lin Piao handed the person over to him first, wrapped his clothes tightly and looked at Shen Hong on the side: "Give me the lamp to use first, and I'll see how the house is doing." ”

Shen Hong walked up, but instead of handing him the lamp, he walked to the door of his house and shone the light inside, and the light shone on the messy room, where the two boxes had been stacked together, and the top boxes had been overturned on the ground, and all the clothes inside were scattered.

Lin Piao put the box in the right place and cleaned it up a little, looking at the black hole in the room, he felt like there were still people.

The second aunt came in to help him clean up: "Let's get it again tomorrow, I'll put it like this today, fortunately I didn't ask him to turn it out of anything, it's really damn good!" ”

Lin Piao nodded, and stood in the room without going to bed, and the second aunt saw him standing like this: "Are you afraid, come and sleep with me tonight, let's sleep together, you just lock your room." ”

Lin Piao was really a little scared, a thief was nothing, but if a dark figure appeared in the darkness, or squatted in a corner like that thief and waited, if the other party was not trying to steal, but holding some weapon in his hand, he would be finished.

But ...... Although he relies on his identity as a brother, he is still a pure man at heart, how can he be embarrassed to sleep with his second aunt!

Lin Piao looked at Shen Hong with a faint gaze, he wanted to sleep with Shen Hong, but he was now Shen Hong's sister-in-law!

"This ......"

Shen Hong saw that Lin Piao was very hesitant, walked in through the door with the lamp, carefully illuminated every corner with the light, and then leaned over a little and put the lamp on the foot of the cabinet.

"Sister-in-law, let's sleep with the light tonight."

"Okay...... Lin Piao nodded reluctantly, and immediately took off his coat and climbed into the bed, which was still warm, and his cold hands and feet suddenly warmed up a lot.

Erzhu looked stupidly, but Shen Hong had already turned sideways to avoid his gaze, and when Lin Piao lay down, Erzhu also said: "Little sister-in-law, you sleep well, if something you scream, I will definitely hear it this time." ”

Shen Hong pursed his lips unhappily and looked at Lin Piao: "Sister-in-law is resting, if there is something to call me." ”

Lin Piao nodded in the quilt: "What can it be, the thief is still caught by me, go back to sleep, don't be cold and cold." ”

The second aunt looked at him for a while, and when she saw him, she was a little frightened, but when it was clear that he had caught the thief, she felt a little funny and pitiful, so she tucked the quilt for him: "Then you can sleep well, and you will call us if you have something." ”

Lin Piao nodded, until everyone went out one by one, he listened to the silence around, looked at the room illuminated by a little light, silently shrunk his head and feet into the quilt, and the whole person hid in the quilt and dragged the pillow in by the way.

After sleeping for a while, he was so uncomfortable that he could only uncover the quilt and stretch his head out to breathe for a while, and then retract back and sleep again after a while.

After repeating it a few times, Lin Piao wailed in his heart.

He wanted to sleep with Shen Hong!

Two pillars are also OK!

Chapter 53

After tossing for half a night, Lin Piao put himself in the quilt, only exposing half of his head and nose outside, wrapped in the quilt and shrunk on the warm kang, and finally felt the groggy sleepiness attacking.

He closed his eyes but didn't live peacefully, always half-dreaming and half-awake felt that the kang under him would be cold and hot for a while, he turned over in a daze, and touched his hand on the soft futon, it felt quite hot, but his body was cold.

It seemed to be dawn outside, but he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes and didn't get up, and he heard the faint sound of water washing outside, and after a while the students came one after another, and after a while their voices grew farther and quieter, until at last there was no sound, except for the occasional sound of turning the pages in unison.

Lin Piao was lying on the bed, and suddenly felt a dry and warm thing on his forehead, he tried to open his eyes, and vaguely saw a person standing in front of his bed, he shrank in fright, and carefully focused his eyes to see that the person standing in front of the bed was Shen Hong, and then he was relieved to hold the quilt and lean on the pillow.

Shen Hong stood in front of the kang, looking at his sister-in-law's panicked appearance, curled up uncomfortably with his fingers, and quickly retracted it and carried it behind him.

"Sister-in-law, your forehead is very hot, and it seems that the wind is cold."

"Yes?" Lin Piao raised his hand and touched his forehead, he couldn't feel the difference in temperature, but he was really dizzy: "Is the kang out of fire?" Some of them had chills. ”

"I got up in the morning and continued some fire, and my sister-in-law didn't think it was warm enough, so I added more."

"Hmm." Lin Piao nodded with a snort, and glanced at the candlestick placed on the cabinet: "Shen Hong, is the lamp oil burned out?" ”

"Just add more."

"Oh......"

Lin Piao rolled up the quilt and lay on the pillow, thinking about how to treat the wind cold in ancient times? Or is it like a cold, drink more hot water for seven days and wait for self-healing?

Shen Hong turned around and took the oil lamp and went outside, and after a while, Lin Piao felt that the kang was a lot hotter, and his hands were hot when he pressed on the mattress.

After a while, Shen Hong walked in again, holding a bowl of water in his hand: "Sister-in-law, drink some hot water." ”

Lin Piao leaned out of the quilt and sat up, sat down in a large pile of bedding, took the bowl and drank it.

The warm water flowed through my throat, and I felt much better in my throat and stomach at once.

After drinking, Lin Piao wiped the corners of his mouth, holding the bowl coyly, Shen Hong reached over and took the bowl, Lin Piao lay down again, shrunk in the quilt and let the warm kang burn his cold body.

"You go and see the students, don't worry about me, I'll just lie down."

Shen Hong nodded: "Sister-in-law has something to call me." Then he turned and walked out of the house.

After a while, the second aunt rushed over in a hurry, holding eggs and red lotus in her hand.

"Shen Hong told me that you have a fever? Are you feeling better now? I saw that you didn't get up for a long time, I thought you should be scared and didn't sleep well, thinking that it would be okay to sleep more, but I didn't expect to get sick this time. As soon as the second aunt walked in, she put her things on the kang head, and touched her hand to Lin Piao's forehead as usual.

"Ouch, it's a little hot, but it's not too hot, don't see the wind anymore, you eat breakfast soon, and I'll go to the east of the village to visit you with a pair of herbs and fry them later."

"Herbs?"

"Yes, there's an uncle over there who can get some herbs, and he can take care of headaches and brain fever."

"It's so bitter......" Lin Piao was groggy, and couldn't help but flatten his mouth when he thought of the taste of Chinese medicine.

"Ouch, my good Piao'er, look at your pity, you drink medicine, my aunt stews chicken soup for you, you are serious now. You shouldn't have caught the thief yourself last night, you don't know how long you stood outside in your clothes, the weather is cold, it's terrible, you can't do it for a while, you can't do it this winter, you have to lie in bed like this winter. ”

"Ah......?" As soon as Lin Piao heard that it was possible to be sick like this all winter, he immediately thought of the words lingering on the sickbed, and a stir in his heart was in his heart, this could not be a small illness that would bring his body down, and he turned his face and looked at his second aunt pitifully.

"Auntie...... I take medicine. ”

"That's right, you take medicine well, drink chicken soup in the afternoon, this time it's fine, I'll put aside some radish stew chicken soup, didn't you say, eat radish in winter and ginger in summer."

"But don't chickens have eggs?"
