Chapter 159: Busking

The children of poor families are in charge of the family at an early age.

Four-and-a-half-year-old Xiao Wu has begun to take care of her mother and family, with the help of the whole villager, with the help of Brother Niu and other friends to fetch water and firewood, the mother and daughter are struggling to survive.

Dad is back, and he only goes out for two days every three or five days.

I heard Aunt Chen say that she was led by Uncle Ji and beat her father back from Fengcheng, and her father could also help with some work, and he was dragged by Uncle Ji and others, and he went into the mountains twice, but when he came back twice, he had almost no gain.

In order to thank Brother Niu and other friends, who have been carrying water and chopping wood, Xiao Wu will tell them the stories told by her mother in her spare time.

Brother Niu and other friends listened to it with taste, and couldn't bear to leave, Xiao Wu saw her mother sitting on the bed through the open window, with a knowing smile on her face, and the smile was on her mother's face, it was really difficult to see, Xiao Wu also smiled.

Looking at the scene in front of him stupidly, Xiao Wu's father seemed to have discovered a new world, his eyes were shining with thief light, and suddenly on a whim, in a pile of debris full of cobwebs and dust in the house, he tossed and turned, and finally picked up a few volumes of books.

Zhen Guang couldn't wait, dragged Xiao Wu to the pomegranate tree, and sat down in front of the broken table.

"Xiao Wu, dad will teach you...... More stories, also handed over to you to read"

Xiao Wu was a little confused, flashing her big black eyes, looking at her completely different father, and then turned her head to look at her mother on the bed in the window, and saw that her mother was happy with tears, and nodded at her.

Dad was like a demon, his eyes were shining, and he hurriedly opened a volume, Zhen Guang pointed to the words on the brochure and read it to Xiao Wu, "Oh, this volume is one of the "Shang Song", called "Xuanniao", Dad reads it to you, "The Destiny of Xuanniao, descended to give birth to Shang, and the house is full of earth." The ancient emperor ordered martial arts, and the four sides of the Zhengyu ......".

Deeply attracted by her father's subdued and frustrated rhyme, Xiao Wu stared at the big eyes of the water spirit, and watched and listened very seriously.

Seeing that her father finished reading, Xiao Wu looked up and saw that although her father was in tattered clothes, under the sun, his whole body seemed to be glowing, and his spirit was flying.

This passage means that the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao descended to the world, and Jian Disheng was born as an ancestor of the merchants, and lived in the vast and wide Yin Land. At that time, the Emperor of Heaven ordered Cheng Tang to conquer the four sides of the world...... Xiao Wu, can you understand?"

"Yes!"

Seeing that her father and mother were happy, Xiao Wu was also happy in her heart, and replied childishly.

Zhen Guang's face was obviously displeased, and he understood a child who was just in his early four years old after listening to it, obviously lying.

"Can you, tell me, what are you writing?"

"Good!"

Learning from his father's appearance, Xiao Wushou pointed to the words on the book and read it out word by word, "Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao,...... The right domain is in all directions".

As Xiao Wu's little hand clicked on the words and read them out word by word, Zhen Guang's eyes widened more and more, and he was shocked, as if he was about to fall out, and his mouth was full of grinding, "How could it be? How could it ?......be?"

The little dancer who was lying on the window, looking at the father and daughter all the time, was also shocked, it was too incredible, and shouted through the window, "Xiao Wu, tell me quickly, what do you mean?"

Confused by her father's expression, Xiao Wu blinked with big eyes, confused for a moment, and said loudly, "Oh, Dad said, the Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao descended to the world...... Conquest of the four sides of the world".

"Oh my God, it's not bad at all?......"

Shaking his head like a rattle, Zhen Guang rubbed his hands excitedly, and only exclaimed, "This can't be! How can this be ?......."

Zhen Guang tried for a while, only to find out that his daughter really had the ability to never forget, and the couple shed tears of joy, which was the most incredible surprise of their hard days.

As long as her father is at home, she will teach Xiao Wu to read and practice calligraphy, and Xiao Wu can't hold the pen firmly when she is small, but she still learns very quickly. There were fewer quarrels at home, and my mother's mood was much better, and she told Xiao Wu more stories and her self-righteous truth.

Zhen Guang followed and entered the mountain twice, but his physical physique was too poor, and he was lazy, so he couldn't keep up with everyone and didn't get much, so he never went again, so after half a year, there was no rice in the rice tank at home.

Zhen Guang was addicted to alcohol and gambling, and he completely lost the height of a scholar, his brain turned fast, and he began to plan and use Xiao Wu's ability to never forget, such as those artists who juggled on the street, to make money by performing arts.

Zhen Guang held a small wooden stick in his hand, knocked on a broken tile, and shouted loudly on the side of a bustling street in Fengcheng.

"Let's take a walk, take a look, Wenqu Xing is reincarnated, the prodigy is coming, ask for peace and go home, you can eliminate disasters and increase blessings, good luck, let's take a look, don't miss the opportunity"

The people on the street felt that it was fresh, and they all slowly gathered around, and some people disdainfully sarcastically said: "What do you see, how can there be any prodigy......? Can you read and write?".

Someone recognized Zhen Guang, "Yo, isn't this the gambler? I saw him and was thrown out of the gambling house."

Some of the onlookers shouted, "You said that these pieces of wood were written by this little girl?

Everyone responded positively, "Yes, yes......".

Listening to everyone's gossip, Zhen Guang not only didn't have a brain, but shouted triumphantly, "Okay......! Will write this, she still has ...... The ability to never forget, if you don't believe it, try it?...... But, if you want to try, pay first, and if she can't do it, how much to pay...... I'll pay it back twice".

"Cut!"

"Brag!"

“......”

The day before, my father said that he wanted to take himself into the city to play, Xiao Wu was excited and didn't sleep well, early in the morning, he took the ox cart of his fellow villagers into the city, Xiao Wu entered the city for the first time, and everything was fresh, staring at the big eyes that were dripping and rolling, and he couldn't see enough.

A man pointed to a wooden sign on the ground with his toes, glanced at his lips and said, "Then write this."

Zhen Guang picked up the wooden sign on the ground and explained to Xiao Wu, who was looking around curiously, "Okay...... Xiao Wu, write a new piece of this".

"Hmm!"

Xiao Wu nodded, knelt on the ground in full view of everyone, and wrote intently as if no one was around, "Tianxingjian, a gentleman is constantly striving for self-improvement."

In the praise of everyone, Xiao Wu flashed her big eyes, looked at everyone with interest, and was very happy to see a group of people, and felt very funny.

Xiao Wu is too young to understand, her father is making fun of her.

"It's amazing!"

"Well, great! I bought this, my grandson, who is older than this child, should also learn to read", said an old man with a long beard, took out a penny from his sleeve and handed it to Zhen Guang, taking the piece of wood that Xiao Wu had just written.

The onlookers saw it, and many people began to respond.

"I want one"

"I want one too"

“......”

A young scholar dressed frugally and with a cunning face looked at the side for a while, as if he was showing off righteously, "Everyone be slow, write this, like painting a scoop according to a gourd, practice more...... It's not hard to do. It's like a juggling monkey, learning the ability to perform arts, and if you repeat it many times, you will remember it. Didn't you say, little girl, you have the ability to never forget, then I'll try it, I'm sure I'll show my stuffing, and everyone won't ...... I was deceived again".

"Well, that's what I said."

"That's it, what good can a gambler do?

"Scholar, try it, try ......"

"Give me my money back!"

Seeing everyone chattering, Zhen Guang pursed his lips, with a sarcastic face, looked directly at the scholar who wanted to take advantage, and said provocatively, "Okay, then, please...... Pay the money first".

The scholar was stunned for a moment, he thought that Zhen Guang would not dare to respond at all, changed his mind, hooked his lips and smiled, took out the money bag from the sleeve cage, poured out ten coins, put it in Zhen Guang's outstretched hand, twisted the money bag, rolled his eyes, and poured out ten more coins to Zhen Guang, with a face full of disdain, and reminded: "Okay, if the little girl can't do it, don't forget, give it to me...... Forty dollars, everyone, come to testify."

"Wow!

"Testify, testify......"

"Okay!

Zhen Guang replied briskly, with a heavy forty yuan in his hand, and he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, he was still very confident in his daughter.

The scholar took out a volume of "Book of Commerce" from the bookcase he was carrying, opened it calmly, and under the guidance of Zhen Guang, pointed it to Xiao Wu word by word, and read it aloud, "The emperor said: Come, Yu! Yu Bai said: Emperor, what do you say? Gao Tao said: Huh! How? Yu said: The flood is monstrous, the vast mountains and Xiangling, and the people are faint. For four years, with the mountain and wood, and the fresh food of Yijuanshu...... Oh, that's all, little girl, look back."

When Zhen Guang heard this, he began to be a little dumbfounded, knowing that the scholar was making things bad, not only would these "words" make Xiao Wuji confusing, but also so long? Zhen Guang showed a worried look on his face.

The scholar stood up, and when he saw Zhen Guang's panic, he felt a burst of pride in his heart.

Xiao Wu flashed her big eyes and looked at the scholar with interest, what she dared to be interested in was that the scholar's bookbox actually had several books.

With smugness on his face, the scholar gloated and glanced at Zhen Guang, who was already a little flustered, and urged the stunned Xiao Wu, "Back?".

Seeing that Xiao Wu didn't carry it for a long time, Zhen Guang's heart gradually rose, and his face was sad, he was already worried about his daughter, and he dropped the chain at a critical time, "Carry it, Xiao Wu...... Carry it".

"Hmm...... I memorized it, this book is ...... Give it to me."

Xiao Wu opened her mouth for the first time, her voice was milky, and she put forward conditions to the scholar.

The young man looked like he had succeeded in his trick, and said loudly, "Okay, if you can memorize it, this ...... I'll give it to you".

The emperor said: "Come, Yu! ...... Yi Song Shu Fresh Food"

The scholar checked the book, until Xiao Wu finished memorizing it, and found that it was word for word. Unlike the light in the eyes of the onlookers, the scholar's frost-beaten leaves suddenly wilted.

"Yes!

"What a prodig......y?

"Shh......h Scholar, you lost, hahaha......"

“......”

The scholar threw the book to Xiao Wu, and in the sound of "shhh

This is really, the agency is too clever to calculate, but it has lost its hard-earned money.

Praise came one after another, and in the crackling applause of the audience, Xiao Wu proudly held the book in her arms, laughing innocently and lovely. She was glad that she could get a book so easily.

"I'll buy a peace charm"

"Me too"

“......”

The wood chips on the ground were quickly sold out, and Zhen Guang smiled, his mouth almost grinning to the root of his ears. He took Xiao Wu to the tavern, and the father and daughter had a good meal of food and drink.

The first time Xiao Wu ate it, she set aside some for her mother to have such a delicious meal, and wanted her mother to taste it too.

The first time I entered the city, Xiao Wu saw the colorful world outside, which left a good impression.

Xiao Wu insisted on going home, worried that her mother hadn't eaten yet.

Zhen Guang, who had money, didn't want to go home, and when he was arguing with his stubborn daughter, he happened to see Uncle Chen, who was driving an ox cart and came to sell mountain goods, Zhen Guang salivated and pleaded with his face, and took Xiao Wu back.

"Dad, there is no rice at home, and if you have money, you have to buy rice......"

was constantly pestered by Xiao Wu, guarding Uncle Chen, who had also participated in catching him home, Zhen Guang, who really couldn't wipe his face, bought a small bag of rice and asked Xiao Wu to take home with him.
