The county seat is small, but there are many things.

The darkness that the beggars in the drunken Fanglou fell into, and the shouts of the scholars and Mr. Wei in the small house.

In ordinary life, there are also stories, but when they are spread, they become rivers and lakes.

Guobei County, Inn, late at night

There was also a lone figure in the inn who was holding his chin at this time, looking out from the ridged window, as if thinking about something.

Three years ago, the scholar took the initiative to enter the rich man's house

The assassin who threw the darts was mediocre in martial arts. The scholar stayed at Qiancai's house for a few days, and he was easily caught.

When the scholar caught him, he was still a little puzzled, this assassin's martial arts skills were mediocre, and his secret weapon was not bad, how did he sneak into the Qian family, enter the bedroom, and cut off a strand of the rich man's hair? But he didn't think much about it, because his mission had been completed.

Qian family, antechamber

"Well done, how many taels of silver do you want?" the rich man asked the scholar with a smile as he touched the beard on his chin.

"One hundred. In the past two days, in addition to teaching the stupid young master, the scholar is catching thieves, and he doesn't want to talk to the people in front of him.

The rich man didn't care, nodded, and instructed the butler beside him, "Okay, you go and pay for him." ”

The scholar stood still with his eyes closed, not giving a look. The rich man smiled at the scholars, and no one spoke in the room until the butler came back with a box.

"Is this money for the surname Niu?" Seeing the scholar open the box, the rich man couldn't help but ask more, with some curiosity on his face.

The scholar didn't answer, picked up the box, and said, "Thank you." He turned around and left.

The rich man behind him touched his beard, squinted his eyes, and looked at the scholar's back with no expression on his face.

Niu family

Boom! The sound of the wooden box smashing on the table rang out.

"It's a hundred taels of silver. The scholar dropped the box, put his hands together, and spoke.

He glanced suspiciously at the wooden box on the table. The old cow came over, flicked the bolt with his fingers, and opened the lid.

The snowflakes and silver that shimmered white in the box were neatly arranged, one next to the other.

"I'm going to see the calf at the private school tomorrow morning. The scholar didn't stay long, saw that the money had arrived, and when he left, he dropped a sentence and turned to leave

There was only Lao Niu in the house, and the children were not there, he was stunned and picked up a piece of silver and looked at it, slowly bowed down, holding the silver in his hand, his face was flushed and his mouth was open, and gradually, the corners of his mouth trembled. Buried his head, the old cow's body trembled slightly.

Early the next morning

The calf came to Mengxue today, and with a happy look on his face, he jumped into the house.

The teacher hadn't arrived yet, and the children were chatting or fighting. A child next to the calf came up and said to the calf: "Calf, my father took me to the wine shop in the city for dinner a few days ago, and bought me sugar gourds and candied fruit. After saying that, he proudly raised his head and looked at the calf, the child's family is planted with fruit trees, and in terms of conditions, it is better than the children of these croppers.

"What's this, my dad can buy a whole liquor store!" said the calf with some disdain on his face as he took out the book from the small cloth bag.

"Bragging!"

"Nope!"

The two children quarreled.

With a roll of his eyes, the boy suddenly jumped up around the calf's futon, and said aloud: "The calf is a cow!

"I didn't!" the calf angrily shoved the child next to him, and then pounced, shouting and waving his hand.

Less than one incense.

When the scholar arrived at the private school, the calf sat there with a blue nose and swollen face, sullen and silent.

Nodding slightly, the scholar said silently in his heart: "This old cow is still trustworthy, give the money, and the people will come." ”

He swept his eyes across the room and counted the number of people.

"Oops, why is there one missing. The scholar's eyes shrank, but when the time came for the lecture, he could only clear his throat, press some thoughts into his heart, and begin to teach.

After a while

"Who hit it, you go in and point it!"

A child with red eyes and crumpled clothes walked in front, and behind him was a man wearing a linen short beat and straw sandals, who was constantly pushing the child behind him, with a complaining look on his face, and his mouth was shouting angrily.

As soon as one older and one young entered the private school, the child immediately pointed to the calf and shouted to the father next to him, "It's him!"

The sound of reading in the room was interrupted.

"Why did you beat my son?" Seeing the man's menacing appearance, the scholar pressed down with one hand, comforted the children in the room, and stood silently with the book in one hand, and stood beside the calf.

"He said I bragged!" replied to the calf, not to be outdone.

Bragging? The man was a little confused

"He said his dad could buy an entire liquor store!" the boy immediately shouted again.

Seeing that the two children were fighting again, the man spoke, "You don't know your father? The man's open nostrils were raised, and he pointed at the calf with disdain.

"You apologize to my son, it's all children, it's over, you go to school well. The man also knew that this was a fight between children, and when he saw that it was such a trivial matter, he didn't want to dwell on it any more, so he grinned apologetically at the scholar as he spoke.

"I'm not bragging, I'm not apologizing!" the calf stared at the boy angrily, his mouth was not loosened, and he picked up the belongings of the nearby children and threw them at the two of them.

The boy felt wronged, his mouth pursed, and tears flowed again.

"Okay, okay! Remember to call your father tomorrow morning, and I'll let him tell him in person how he bought the liquor." The man was a little angry, and said loudly, and then took his son to an empty futon, and arched his hand to the scholar, and the man did not disturb the people in the house, and went home.

The sound of reading in the room sounded again.

Guobei County, Inn

Alas... The woman sighed, picked up the teapot beside her, added some water to the cup, and moistened her mouth.

walked to the edge of the bed, took off his shoes and socks, put on his clothes and lay down on the bed, and looked at the roof with blank eyes.

The man sent his son to the private school on the morning of the third day, and he wanted to see the father and son of the Niu family.

Three years ago

After a while, he saw that the calf was the only one who came, and his father was nowhere to be seen.

"Where's your father?" the man asked the calf.

"My dad hasn't gotten up yet. The calf replied with a drooping reply, and went into the house. Ignore him no more.

"Okay, okay! I'll wait here. The man clenched his fists, gritted his teeth, and stood outside the house waiting.

And so it was until noon, when it was almost time for dinner.

In the distance, a figure with his head held high came.

Approaching, it was the old cow who was carrying a big burden and walking towards the private school, he should have woken up...
