Shen Yu thanked him respectfully.

Chen Chong waved his hand: "As long as you are all well, I will rest assured." ”

Shen Yu's eyes were hot, and he blinked, looking at the brick cracks on the ground.

"Yong'er is very good with me, but his family is reluctant to come out to play, so I told the juniors not to force it." Chen Chong said: "He likes to study ordnance and gunpowder, and followed me to the Ordnance Bureau twice, saying that when he grows up, he will invent the most powerful weapon to exterminate the Japanese invaders." ”

Shen Yu sighed: "He wants to avenge his parents and grandfather." ”

"Yes......" Chen Chong sighed, "You look back at him, help me persuade him, you should pay more attention to the scriptures and historical articles, if you can't get fame in the test, depending on how much knowledge he has, there is no place for it." ”

Shen Yu nodded: "I have to persuade him." ”

Chen Chong chatted with him again about the Japanese rebellion he encountered in Anjiang County: "Before you arrived in the capital, that Zhao Zhixian was on a slap to impeach the improper jurisdiction of the Nanzhili Military Department, the serious shortage of guards, the weakness of the veterans, and the lax training, which caused Anjiang to almost fall into the hands of the Japanese and the people, and the people suffered heavy casualties. ”

Shen Yu was shocked.

This is very in line with this old man's character, Shen Yu was surprised not by his behavior of writing the book, but by his recital through the government office, Nanzhili Tongzheng Division, and submitted to the center layer by layer, but no one stopped him.

What does this mean? It shows that his boss, the boss's boss, without exception, all want to kill him.

Once this message is transmitted to the capital, the officials of the Nanzhili Military Department, the military generals, the garrison eunuchs and others involved in it will confront it at the same time, how can a small county be able to withstand it?

Just as he was groaning, the maid knocked on the door outside, and the wife asked if she was setting a meal in the flower hall?

Chen Chongzi went to instruct his subordinates to set the meal, and the two of them transferred out of the study, and the juniors were already waiting in the flower hall, surrounding the Chen family's wife Wang's fun, and making Wang leaning back and forth.

The children played happily, the table was not restrained, the girls whispered head to head, the boys discussed the plan of action for the afternoon, Wang took Xu Tinglan's hand and asked for warmth, Xu Tinglan put on a new pair of toothbrushes for the second old cloth.

As a daughter-in-law, you always have to serve the elders on such an occasion, and it is inevitable that you will not eat well, Shen Yu saw it in her eyes, and after the meal, she specially asked for a soup cake, and accompanied Xu Tinglan to eat some more.

Huai'an, who had no heart or lungs, was long gone, and he was caught by a large tree in the yard, the canopy was green and dense, and it was full of green fruits like bells.

"The walnuts are ripe!" He said.

"Really!" The children sighed around the tree.

Huai'an rushed back to the house and asked his father, "Can I climb the tree?" ”

Shen Yu and his wife looked up very tacitly and looked at him unkindly.

"It's okay, I'll ask." Huai An smiled: "Your two elders really have husband and wife." ”

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to escape, but suddenly heard his father ask behind him, "What are you climbing a tree for?" ”

"Walnut picking!" Huai'an hurriedly said.

The adults couldn't help laughing, the walnuts in the south are ripe in July, but most of the ones in the capital are not ripe until September, and now it is only the beginning of August, how can the walnuts be ripe?

Shen Yu got up and left the table, took him by the hand and went to the garden, wanting to tell the children the truth that everything is in season.

There was indeed a walnut tree in the garden, not very tall, but very stout, apparently an old tree. Shen Yu glanced up, he was really mature! The only explanation is that there are hot springs nearby, and the soil is warm, which accelerates the ripening of the fruit.

It shows that children's thoughts have not formed a fixed pattern, so that they can discover the beauty that is different from the normal.

Shen Yuxin folded a bamboo pole in his hand, peeled off the bamboo leaves and handed it to Huai'an, picked him up and carried it on his shoulders, just enough to reach those green fruits.

Huai'an waved a bamboo pole to hit walnuts, and it rained walnuts under the tree, and the fruits fell to the ground, and the children cheered excitedly.

When Huai'an had had enough, Shen Yu picked up the younger children in turn, and the older children found bamboo baskets and picked walnuts around the big tree. Huai'an was hit on the head by the falling walnut, he didn't feel any pain at the time, and when Shen Yu saw it, there was already a big bag on his forehead.

Shen Yu pulled over to take a look, fortunately he didn't hit his eyes, and rubbed his drifting sea with his hands, and hid it so that he wouldn't show it to the child and his mother.

Pretending to be casual, he said, "It's no big deal, let's play!" ”

Chapter 44

Huai'an followed his cousin to the lake.

The lake is a grassland that stretches for ten miles, just outside the Chen family's manor, where the scenery is quiet and quiet, and it is often a place for the children of rich families to run horses and play. On the other side of the lake is an ancient Taoist temple, called Qingyun Temple, there is an ancient ginkgo tree planted outside the view, and it is said that the oldest one has been 1,000 years old.

The children were curious, and wanted to go to the other side of the lake, where Huai'an was the richest, so they took out a dozen copper coins from their small purses, rented a small boat, and asked the captain to take them to the other side of the lake.

Seeing that they were all richly dressed children, he was afraid that something would go wrong, so he didn't dare to make this money: "A porridge factory has been opened on the other side, and there are many homeless people, and there is a lot of chaos, so you should call the adults to go with you." ”

Huai'an was stunned: "Wanderers? Haven't you already returned to your hometown? ”

"If only they were willing to go back to their hometowns, they just wandered around the suburbs of Beijing and the surrounding counties." The captain frightened them in an exaggerated tone: "Yesterday, the little old man carried two guests, and as soon as he arrived on the other side, he was robbed of all the gold and silver by the homeless people. ”

"Does Shuntianfu care?" Huai'an asked rhetorically.

"." "But there are 10,000 or 20,000 homeless people in this area, and the prison is full of people, so I can't control it." ”

Huai An clenched the small purse in his hand: "Forget it, we won't go, thank you grandfather." ”

Seeing that he was handsome, cute and polite, the captain smiled lovingly: "That's right, hurry home." ”

Huai'an nodded.

Although the captain feels that the homeless people in the countryside are pitiful, he can't help but really affect the business, who doesn't have a family to support? It is inevitable that he will complain to himself: "I really don't know what else they will do, I heard that the local government has reduced the autumn rent and apportionment, but they will not leave......"

"It's autumn soon, and there is no food to eat when I return to my hometown, so why wait until the beginning of spring." Huai'an analyzed it seriously.

"The little boy knows a lot." The captain laughed.

As soon as they finished speaking, they saw a white pony walking towards them along the shore of the lake.

Or maybe it wasn't coming towards them, because the boy in white on the horse obviously couldn't control the direction, and the little white horse writhed around as if he had drunk fake wine.

Huai'an was looking at him because behind this man and a horse, followed by two men in tattered clothes. Huai'an wanted to remind him loudly, but he was afraid of startling the other party, so he directly drove the drunk driver who did not obey the call to the lake......

Sure enough, one of the men rushed forward, snatched the child's purse and ran.

"Stop, don't run!" The child on the horse was first startled, and then his legs clamped the horse's belly: "Drive! ”

The white horse's front legs rose into the air, posed a very handsome pose, and then spun in a circle, noble and elegant in place.

The child was in a hurry, turned over and dismounted, and chased after him: "Stop, don't run!" Give it back! ”

Seeing this, Huai'an snatched the ship's penny from the captain's hand and swept it to the ground.

The man who was running in front of him flew out and fell into the mud, and the other man, seeing this, turned around and ran into the woods, and soon disappeared without a trace.

The man on the ground struggled to get up, Huai'an stepped forward and grabbed his arm, and the two cousins hugged his legs one left and one right, and threw him to the ground again.

"Bring it to you!" Huai'an snatched the purse from his hand, pinched it, fluttering, empty!

Huai'an stood up with the penny on the boat, an empty purse, as for such a desperate chase? It was in vain that the master made such a lot of effort.

was secretly screaming strangely, the little boy had already run wildly in front of him, running out of breath, holding his knees and panting for a while, before he took the purse from Huai'an's hand with one free hand, carefully smoothed the folds, and tied it back to his waist.

The child was dressed in a moon-white troll, with deerskin boots on his feet, and he knew that he was of extraordinary origin. Seeing that he was about to stand firmly, he groped around his body, and found that there was nothing on his body, and his expression was a little embarrassed. Then he pointed to the white horse behind him: "This horse rewards you, and you should be a thank you gift." ”

Huai'an's face turned blue and white, what does it mean? White horse? Reward him?

Master, I'll send you this horse! Yes, the master needs a horse, but it's not your resentful stallion who drank fake wine, right?

"We're not coveting your stuff for you, you go." Huai'an turned back with a gloomy face and said, "Second cousin, go back and find someone to report to the official." ”

"Hey, don't, don't! Don't report to the police! The boy in white was anxious: "Most of them were forced to steal chickens and dogs, forget it, let's let him go." ”

"Can you rob if you are forced to do so?" Huai'an was really a little angry, why was this person so ignorant.

He also sympathized with these victims, but in his eyes, robbery and theft are two completely different concepts, stealing only violates other people's property, robbery can threaten personal safety, so in the later life, stealing less than 1,000 yuan can not be filed, and robbery of one dollar will also be sentenced.

Unexpectedly, the boy in white glanced at Huai'an up and down: "Of course you won't rob, your family is not poor." ”

Huai'an glared: "Your family is poor? ”

"My family is poor," said the boy, "and my poor family of eight wears a pair of pants." ”

"Who wouldn't brag," Huai'an sneered, "My poor family eats vegetables without salt." ”

"My family is poor and can't afford to eat vegetables, so they only eat salt."

"My ......"

I only heard the man on the ground cry out: "A few masters, please, send me to the government, my legs are numb!" ”

Only then did the three children get up from the man.

"Cousin, I think it's better to forget it." The second cousin persuaded: "The bitter master doesn't care anymore, let's let him go." ”

Huai'an looked at the man, only to see that he had a yellow face and thin muscles, ragged clothes, obviously a young man, but his body was even more rickety than the old man, which was also the reason why he was easily defeated by the three children, he couldn't eat enough, and he lacked nutrition, so most of the homeless people were weak and weak.

It's really not a treacherous and evil face, just an ordinary person who is forced to be anxious.

The boy in white asked him: "On the other side of the lake is the porridge factory, and the Son of Heaven will not starve to death, so why do you want to rob money?" ”

The man sighed and sat up with his legs bent: "In our hometown, my daughter has to pay tribute to the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival in order to marry a good person." Originally, I had already found a good livelihood in the city, and when I was paid, I went to buy flowers for my daughter, but I couldn't afford it, and I could pull two head ropes. But the government put up a notice to drive out those of us who had no way out. ”

Huai'an froze.

Yes, the porridge factory soup soup only keeps them from starving to death, but people live, is it just to not starve to death? What they want is to earn money by working on their own, to gain a little dignity other than food rations.

Huai'an looked around, saw that there was no one, poured the copper coins in the purse into his hand, counted them, and counted them, only twenty or thirty, and stuffed them into the man's dirty hands, but said weakly: "Don't rob again in the future, if you are arrested by the government, what should your daughter do?" ”

The man looked at the white sun, wiped the sweat mixed with dirt on his face, thanked him a thousand times, and left with the copper coin.

When he looked back, the boy in white was gone.

It turned out that he was grabbing his horse. The white horse was very naughty, and walked leisurely a step or two away from him, just not letting him catch it.

The second cousin said, "It's not early, let's go back." ”

Huai'an nodded, but saw a luxurious carriage coming on the official road, and several young men in gray shorts ran over in a panic: "Master, why did you run out alone, worrying Mrs. badly." ”

This time Huai'an had seen it on TV, and a group of bodyguards in black suits bowed to the rebellious boy: "Young master, the president asked you to go home and inherit hundreds of millions of family properties." ”

was laughing secretly, only to see a noble lady really walking down from the carriage, wearing a bamboo-blue brocade gown, her demeanor was extremely graceful, full of hairpin trees, jewels, and she didn't feel tacky at all.

Huai'an looked at them curiously.

"Auntie." The boy in white ran over.

"Naughty!" The woman saw that he was unscathed, breathed a sigh of relief, and stretched out a finger to poke the little boy's forehead: "I ran so far without saying a word, I scared my aunt to death!" ”

Xiao Tong pointed at Huai'an: "Someone robbed my purse just now, and they helped me get it back." ”

"Really? So brave? When the woman saw that the children were handsome and lovely, and dressed in extraordinary clothes, she smiled and praised: "What a good boy, this purse is very important to my nephew, what is your name?" Where is home? Another day, I will definitely come to the door with a generous gift to thank you. ”
