Chapter 4 There is no cave
There are several stone doors on the stone walls around the hall.
Open the stone door mechanism, there are many secret rooms inside, there are bedrooms, there are study rooms, there are places for making fires and cooking, and even thatched houses are set up. In some secret rooms, there were stoves, weapons, stones, medicinal herbs and other things that I didn't know what they were, and the children took them out to play with for a while, lost interest, and threw them back. In some secret rooms, the walls are carved with strange patterns.
Due to the long period of uninhabited, many places are covered with thick cobwebs and dust.
Everyone turned around the stone chamber, and there was no longer any curiosity. Xiuxiu and Xiang'er proposed that everyone clean up the hall and everyone play here.
A few people found branches from the outside to make a simple broom, cleaned the inside clean, and everyone sat down and began to talk.
When we were tired of playing, we went out of the cave to catch fish, grilled and eaten, and ate lunch and dinner together.
On this secluded island, Wen Peng felt that he had spent the happiest time of his life, without worries, and his friends chatted all over the world.
Niu Wa said that she would also be a rich man in the future, and she would no longer have to look at the face of the little fat man, and she would no longer have to herd cattle for his family all day long.
Xiao Shi has no luxury, just wants to marry a daughter-in-law and live in peace, he said that his father said that he does not seek to be rich and expensive in this life, but only to have a safe family.
The pillar was amazing, he said that he vowed to take the top prize, which was more majestic than Xiang'er's father back then, and of course it would be better to marry Xiuxiu home.
Xiuxiu's face flushed and she shouted loudly: Who wants to marry you. Then, she secretly looked at Xia Peng with her residual eyes, although many people didn't pay attention, but her seemingly casual gaze was seen by Xiang'er.
Xiang'er coaxed: Okay, good, ambitious, pillar, we will all go to your house to celebrate you.
Xiao Linzi seemed to be in a hurry, suddenly stood up from the ground, and shouted: Don't make any noise, Xiuxiu will be my daughter-in-law in the future.
The pillar was a little resentful, and was about to reason with him, but Niu Wa stood in the middle of them and said with a smile: "Haha, they're all here to steal the show." ”
"Go, you are so annoying, none of you, I will not marry, my mother said that in the future, you will find a diligent person, you know that it hurts. Xiuxiu plucked up her courage and said.
Ling'er, the youngest of these children, didn't understand much about their conversation, and just laughed along with everyone.
Xiang'er suddenly asked Wen Peng, the great literati, the pillars all know to be the top scorer in the exam, what will you do in the future?
Wen Peng lay on the ground, looking at the white clouds in the sky and looking at the sea in the distance, but he was silent.
After a while, he said: I don't know, my mother doesn't allow me to be an official, she said that I can live in peace and run the family's livelihood, but that's not my liking.
As he spoke, Wen Peng felt a little aggrieved, and suddenly said: One day, I will leave here and see the outside world.
Xiao Linzi hurriedly interjected, it's good to do business, my father said, the store at home will be mine in the future, it's good to have money, you can buy whatever you want to eat.
"You're a foodie", Xiuxiu said, causing everyone to laugh.
Xiang'er instead looked at Wen Peng in a daze, pulled up a small grass from the ground, and scratched it on Wen Peng's face-----
Everyone was talking and laughing, and before they knew it, the sky was getting darker. The fiery red sun floats on the surface of the sea, as if it is about to sink into the deep seabed.
Everyone reluctantly prepared to leave, packed up the things in the cave, and extinguished the oil lamp.
After going out, they closed the stone door, and everyone agreed that it was their secret, and no one could tell it.
So, everyone greeted the afterglow of the setting sun and drove the boat slowly towards home. The fishing boats were returned and the children went home.
At this time, in Lijia Village, the smoke curls up, and the firelight gradually illuminates the dark night.
When Wen Peng arrived home, he had already started eating. When my mother saw the fish who had returned late, she didn't say anything, and the fish rarely came back so late this year, and the mother was very unaccustomed to it. Sometimes when I look at the fish reading from the window, I feel a little unsteady, flustered, and an indescribable feeling is pressed in my heart.
Wen Peng was ready to be scolded by his mother, standing at the dining table in the living room, lowering his head, secretly looking at the food on the table from time to time, and Sister Lian'er laughing while eating.
But the mother didn't say anything, but said, "Fish, go wash your hands, come and eat, there is your favorite fish today." ”
"Yes, Mother. Yu'er ran out to wash her hands while responding to her mother, muttering in her heart, why didn't her mother punish herself today. In the past, when he came back late, not only did he not have anything to eat, but he also had to be punished, and every time Sister Lian'er secretly sent him food to eat.
After the fish has been washed, they sit down at the table and begin to eat. Today may be too tired, the fish's appetite has increased, and the mother can't help but be a little happy, and keeps putting vegetables in the fish bowl.
When I was eating, I learned that my husband came back from Suzhou City in the afternoon, and he came to his home as a guest to chat with his mother.
Between the words, Wen Peng knew that after Mr. taught them for two more months, he would go back to Suzhou to retire, and his mother planned to invite another Mr. from Suzhou Mansion to come back, after all, the school had only been open for a year.
Later, I learned from Sister Lian'er that Mr. came to the house before noon, and Mr. and his mother chatted for a long time, mostly talking about Wen Peng.
The old gentleman has always praised Wen Peng for being smart and studious, and asked his mother to send Wen Peng to study at Suzhou Academy.
Yu'er was puzzled and asked, why did he send himself to Suzhou to study.
Lian'er laughed, and Mr. said that he couldn't teach you anymore, and he was afraid that he would miss your future. Suzhou Mansion is a place where Jiangnan literati and celebrities gather, allowing you to see the world.
After hearing this, the fish didn't know whether it was happy or worried, and was silent. After a long time, I asked: Sister Lian'er, do you think my mother will agree? Sister Lian'er stopped laughing and replied seriously, it's hard to say......
When Xiang'er arrived home, the family was about to go out to look for it.
Xiang'er's father was relieved to see his daughter return home. He called Xiang'er to him and taught him a hard lesson: "You are an eldest lady, you don't stay in the boudoir, you fool around all day long, what kind of physique do you become? Are you messing with those wild children again? and still playing so late." ”
Xiang'er was still standing in front of her father and honestly listening to her father's reprimand. Hearing his father say this about himself, he turned around and left, muttering as he went, "What a wild child, that's my little friend." I don't listen, I don't want to stay at home all day, I'm so stuffy that I can't breathe. ”
Go back to your room, bang it, close the door, and lock it from the inside.
"The older this kid gets, the more rude he becomes. Xiang'er's father shook his head angrily.
"The child is still young, and he has a big playfulness, after all, it is his daughter's house, and scolding like this all day long will be counterproductive. Mother Xiao He persuaded on the side.
"It doesn't matter yet, it's all pampered by you. Our Xiao family is also a family with a head and a face in Yanyuzhuang. The girl is mixed with a bunch of wild children all day long, what kind of body has she become. By the way, if there is not a gentleman teaching today, how can you run out?" Xiao Tianyu suddenly asked.
Xiao He was a little flustered, but immediately said unhurriedly: "Mr. is not feeling well today, give the girl a day off." ”
"I see, but you have to keep an eye on her in the future, and don't let her go out and mess around again. Xiao Tianyu sat on the Taishi chair, picked up the teacup, and tasted the tea slowly.
