Chapter 4 Literacy and Hyphenation
Cultivation is a long journey that never stops.
Once you set foot in it, there will be no peaceful days. The higher you climb, the more you are feared and hated, it is difficult for a pure and good person to survive, and the one who survives is not a person with a deep mind who has his back to the big tree and is decisive and ruthless.
In his previous life, Zhao Qi had seen too many talented Geng Zhiboys die halfway, and they didn't even know how they died, which made people sigh. It is rumored that there are many unscrupulous clan children in the market, most of whom do not see the sun, and are coiled on the big tree like a dodder seed, and when they are slightly separated, they fall into the dust and mud, and the bones of the enemies they have provoked will be shattered, and those related to them will suffer.
In the south of cultivation, it is difficult to go to the blue sky.
Zhao Qi, who learned the truth of cultivation in his previous life, has been working hard since he can remember, working hard until he dies, and working so hard that all the people and relatives who have devoted his life to it are buried under the heavenly fire. It can really be said that the heart of the Tao is broken, but not practicing means that there is no power beyond ordinary people to protect the people, which is the point that Zhao Qi is entangled. If you practice, I'm afraid you will harm the people of Yong'an again!
But it seems that now I want to make a comeback, and I don't have the capital! This kind of chess game full of sunspots is really desperate!
But I am not reconciled! Those soldiers who died fighting for their dreams, the imprisoned old men and the people of the city who bear the fruits of their karma for themselves, seem to be watching me from heaven! The nobles of the four countries still have millions of my people waiting for me to rescue!
If you think about it carefully, it seems that the four countries and the three sects are all their enemies!
Accustomed to throwing problems to civil and military officials, or relying on cultivation to smooth out obstacles, Zhao Qi was a little numb for a while, how to rely on the only strength to guard, this is simply a dead end, just thinking about it makes a big head.
In the middle of the month, Zhao Qicai shivered and hid back under the covers to sleep, he hadn't felt the cold for a long time!
On the third day of the next day, Zhao Yuxin sneakily came to Zhao Qi's side, "Little beggar, where did you find the fruit you ate yesterday, let's look for it today." ”
"It's in the Imperial City, go find it yourself!"
Zhao Qi, who fused his memory, knew Zhao Yuxin's black belly very well, and decisively rejected Zhao Yuxin's invitation, joking, how many times did he help Zhao Yuxin carry the black pot before......
Granny Lan had a bright smile on her face, for the first time in so many years, there was life in the family, and she saw the small movements of the two children, but she was happy to see it, she smiled and said nothing on the side, and only responded to it when she was needed.
Ignoring Zhao Yuxin's muttering while washing the dishes, Granny Lan pulled Zhao Qi to her side and said kindly:
"Qi'er, you're now... It's not like it used to be. ”
Granny Lan thought about it again and again, but her cultural level was not enough, and she couldn't find a tactful way to communicate with Qi'er, so Zhao Qi would speak, and Granny Lan was afraid that she would be careless and hurt the child's self-esteem.
"You have to learn a lot of things in the future, other people's children have been in school for a year or two, do you want to read and write too?"
"Forget it, I'm a year or two late, and I won't be able to go there. ”
said this, but in fact, what Zhao Qi thought in his heart was: I was rich and rich in five cars, and most of the books in the palace library were studied, and now I have to accompany the doll egg to read and break words!
"You have to study no matter what, if you can't save face, then let Sister Yuxin teach you for a while!"
"Don't, I don't want her to teach me ......"
Zhao Qi had a bitter face, and looked at Granny Lan pitifully, if he learned to write with Zhao Yuxin, it would be better to let him pretend to be stupid for another seven years, but now it is not good for him to show his talents, otherwise Granny Lan will begin to suspect Zhao Qi's upper body.
"Okay, don't lose your temper, Yuxin usually takes care of you, don't count it in your heart, she teaches you, and I'm quite relieved." ”
"Mother-in-law, I will definitely make the little beggar a great talent. ”
Granny Lan raised her head at Zhao Yuxin, who showed half of her head, and said helplessly:
"Go and brush the pot, wait until you finish reading the books at home, and then talk big. ”
"Oh. Thinking that her younger brother's learning fell into her own hands, Zhao Yuxin had already thought of three or four crazy tricks, and she cleaned the kitchen obediently at this time, just to reassure her mother-in-law.
"Mother-in-law, isn't it, can't I teach myself?"
"What are you teaching yourself, you don't know a single big word! That's it, let your sister Yuxin teach you from tomorrow, and it just so happens that the two of you won't go out to make trouble." ”
Granny Lan no longer allowed Zhao Qi to argue, so she made a decision, turned around and walked to the east wing to start embroidering. Granny Lan learned an embroidery craft in the Splendid Palace that year, and has been embroidering some small objects in exchange for food over the years, and the embroidery craft in the western half of the city belongs to Granny Lan's top, and Granny Lan's work has been scheduled for a few months.
Most of the orders are some items needed for weddings and funerals, because they are the only one, so the income is quite acceptable, barely supporting two children.
When the coalition army ransacked Yong'an City, I don't know if it is not worth it, there are too many treasures that need to be taken away, Yong'an City left a lot of books, Granny Lan collected a lot of books, when taking over the work, if anyone is poor and can't afford to pay the money, they will take some books as a mortgage, and they will come and go, and the books at home have been placed on two walls.
Many people are puzzled by Granny Lan's behavior.
"You said that this Granny Lan doesn't know a single big word, why do you buy so many books?"
"You ask me, how do I know. Probably used as a fire primer ......"
Granny Lan went to do things, and Zhao Qi found that he had nothing to do at home, so he thought about whether to go out for a stroll again, or go back to sleep and go back to sleep?
Cultivation, what are you kidding, this kind of thing that has no prospects, only a fool will do it. I'm going to have to find a chance to try the plan I came up with last night, and it must be a challenge for a mere mortal to stir up the world.
It's a pity that Zhao Qi didn't have time to start thinking about it, so Zhao Yuxin pinched Zhao Qi's ears with wet fingers and carried him to the front of the courtyard.
"It hurts, it hurts, let go!"
Zhao Qi didn't pay attention to it a little, and the momentum leaked in the slightest, so frightened that Zhao Yuxin let go of his hand in a daze, Zhao Qi also realized the difference in the situation at this time, and his tone softened when he said it.
If it weren't for my mother-in-law asking me to teach you to read, you would think your sister wanted to teach you!"
Although she was suppressed by Zhao Qi just now, her sister's face still has to be saved. Unreasonable and unforgiving, unreasonable troubles are Zhao Yuxin's forte.
"Little beggar, take me to the imperial city to look for fruit. ”
"What are you looking for, just one, and I ate it. Nowhere is it. ”
"Who said that, maybe there are other fruits there! Take me there quickly! I told my mother-in-law that I would take you to the river in the afternoon to learn how to read. After speaking, he also took out a copy of "Thousand Character Text" from his sleeve and shook it off in front of Zhao Qi.
......
The arms can't reach the thighs after all, and in the end, Zhao Qi was pulled by Zhao Yuxin and came to the imperial city. In order to send Zhao Yuxin away, Zhao Qi found a small sapling that had been cut off, and swore to Zhao Yuxin and said:
"It was from this little tree that I picked the fruit, and why was the little tree cut down? ”
After speaking, he pretended to walk around the four circles a few times, and then told Zhao Yuxin more definitely that it was this tree, and he was sure. Zhao Yuxin, who was busy becoming a genius, didn't care about Zhao Qi's explanation, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Qi up to walk around the huge imperial city, "It's okay, maybe there are fruits in other places!"
When it was almost dark, Zhao Yuxin suddenly made a surprise discovery, she saw a slender vine on a ridge of a field, with seven or eight golden thumb-sized watermelons connected to it.
"Little beggar, did you see this thing yesterday?"
"Forehead ......" Before Zhao Qi could speak, Zhao Yuxin picked all the small watermelons and sniffed them with her nose, not to mention, this little watermelon exudes a rich fragrance.
Zhao Qi next to him was drunk, how could this kid not divide the grains! This is obviously a melon, a small fruit that cannot be eaten. Zhao Qi subconsciously forgot that this thing seemed to be brought back from the prairie of Ronghu Yeting, he really didn't expect that this little thing could survive under the heavenly fire, and it was not easy.
However, the witty Zhao Qi chose to keep his mouth shut in time, it is impossible to know this thing with his current identity, obviously he is talking about a small red fruit, Zhao Yuxin will not be a fool, right?
Zhao Yuxin didn't notice Zhao Qi's strange eyes, muttered to herself, and stuffed all the melons into the placket of her clothes, and greeted Zhao Qi,
"Let's go home, these eight fruits, three mother-in-law, three me, and two of you, how about it?"
I didn't expect Zhao Yuxin to see the "treasures", and I wanted to share a little bit of myself, and my heart was hot, but when I saw Zhao Yuxin's proud expression, I was also a little speechless, these treasures are still you alone!
When Zhao Yuxin was about to arrive at the door of the house, she saw that her door was open, and a group of angry young people came out scolding, and hurriedly pulled Zhao Qi to hide in the corner, and waited for the hooligans to disappear before rushing into the house......
