Chapter 5 Be low-key
Soon, Kong Rui went back to the academy to study, but Lin Wen had to go out from time to time to complete some sect tasks, or collect some meteorite ore and come back for refining, but the blacksmith couple treated him like their own brothers, and always told him to go out repeatedly.
Lin Wen also had a lot of feelings about the Kong family, and he hurried back after completing the task, just like a family, they were happy, and he also refined countless meteorite ores, all of which he put away, but took out silver taels and told Kong Blacksmith that they were sold.
Soon it was time for the autumn harvest again, and Kong Rui no longer went to school to help his parents harvest the crops.
After half a year of practice, Kong Rui is now very agile, and his endurance is also very good, and with Lin Wen's help, the crops in the field were quickly harvested, but there was still a lot of scattered grain left in the field, attracting a lot of hares and pheasants to come, and it was a good time to catch them.
On this day, Kong Rui took Lin Wen out to catch hares, and Lin Wen also wanted to see how he had grown in the past six months, so they went out together.
Kong Rui is also very fast now, usually in the process of chasing rabbits can kick a rabbit, at the end of the day, two rabbits chased by him died under his "iron hooves", but neither was caught by his hands.
Lin Wen saw that he was making rapid progress, so he taught him some other body techniques, which were used to match his hands and eyes, and he was able to hit the fleeing hare with his hands; Kong Rui's understanding was also very strong, and he was able to master it quickly, and he was able to kill the hare with his hands the next day, of course, he was very happy.
Just when they were carrying the four hares and walking back, they also saw a few half-old children on the road, who also went out to catch hares and pheasants, but they all returned empty-handed, and saw Kong Rui actually carrying four fat hares in both hands, walking there proudly, and couldn't help but blush, but as soon as they saw Lin Wen and Kong Rui together, of course they didn't dare to come nonsense.
When Lin Wen saw the expressions of these children, of course he knew what they were thinking, and his heart moved at the moment, but he didn't say anything.
When the blacksmith couple saw Kong Rui and Lin Wen actually brought back four hares, although they thought that Lin Wen's credit was greater, they were also overjoyed and praised Kong Rui well, and Kong Rui was even more proud.
The next day, Lin Wen still took Kong Rui out as usual, but this time he took the initiative to catch a beautiful golden chicken alive and gave it to Kong Rui, and together with the three hares that Kong Rui himself killed, he went back together.
Lin Wen asked Kong Rui, "Rui'er, are you going back with a golden chicken and a rabbit like this?"
Kong Rui was stunned for a moment, and thought, "I caught this myself, just let others see." Then he said: "Of course, let the friends see how good I am." ”
Lin Wen smiled faintly and stopped talking.
It was the first time for Kong Rui to hold such a beautiful golden rooster with his own hands, of course, he didn't know that he should use a black cloth cover to cover the golden chicken's eyes, but he just walked back happily, and the golden chicken panicked and kept struggling.
When I walked to the gate of the town, I saw a group of older children surrounding him, led by a boy about fourteen or fifteen years old, Chen Daniu, the son of Chen Orion in the east of the town.
Chen Daniu thought to himself that he was born in a hunter's family, usually he went to the field to make a trap, and a trap might only catch a hare in two or three days, this Kong Rui is only seven years old now, watching him go out empty-handed every day, but he can take the hare home every day, and his heart is naturally uneven; this time he actually caught a live beautiful golden pheasant, and his eyes are even more red. Most of the other children came to join in the fun, and they might make a little profit for themselves when they saw the benefits.
Kong Rui was happily walking home, and suddenly saw a group of big children surrounding him, his face was not friendly, so he became nervous, and turned around to find Lin Wen, but he didn't even see a figure, so he had to deal with these big children by himself, and said honestly: "It turned out to be Brother Da Niu, is there something wrong?"
Chen Da Niu looked at the wild smell in his hand: "Are you going to catch a hare again?"
Kong Rui, scared in his heart, still nodded and said, "Well, I caught one." ”
Da Niu said: "How did you catch it? Tell me and let you go, otherwise the golden pheasant and the hare will be ours." ”
Kong Rui had already been instructed by Lin Wen that he couldn't tell others about catching hares with his bare hands, he was young, and he didn't know how to lie when he was nervous, and he couldn't speak for a while.
When the children saw that Kong Rui was speechless, they rushed forward to snatch the hare.
Although Kong Rui was young, the inhabitants of the border were brave and unyielding, and when they saw those children rushing up to rob them, they had no fear at all, and they did not retreat, so they fought with them.
Although Kong Rui's skills are now extraordinary, he has never fought with anyone, and after a while, he was pressed to the ground by those big children, and the three hares did not know who snatched them, but the golden rooster flew away in the chaos.
Fortunately, there were adults passing by, and when they saw a group of big children bullying a child, they stepped forward and shouted, and those big children had already succeeded, so they ran away, leaving Kong Rui alone with a blue nose and swollen face.
Kong Rui was about to cry in pain now, but he desperately held back his tears and walked home with his head down. But along the way, I was thinking: It's to bully me when I'm young, if I have Uncle Lin's ability, I'm not afraid of you.
When the blacksmith and his wife saw that their son had been beaten, they hurried to comfort him. After asking the reason for the beating, Kong wanted to take his son to Chen Orion's house to ask for an explanation; Kong Blacksmith and Chen Orion had always been good friends, but they were both villagers in the village, but they didn't think so, and praised his son for being able to beat several people, and he didn't want Kong to go to Chen Orion's house.
Of course, Kong was very unhappy, and when she was counting her husband, Lin Wen came back from outside.
Kong Shi pulled his son and pointed to the scars on his son's face to Lin Wen and complained that his husband did not ask for an explanation for his son.
Lin Wen smiled faintly and said, "The children's affairs, they will solve it slowly, and the sister-in-law doesn't have to worry too much." ”
When Kong Shi heard this, this was also obviously biased towards the blacksmith, so he angrily pulled Kong Rui to the back room.
The blacksmith beckoned to Lin Wendao: "Come on, come on, brother sit." ”
Lin Wen said with a straight face: "Big brother, I still have to give the child a cloth bag." ”
The blacksmith reacted as soon as he could, and cried out, "Come out of the Hun family, make a cloth bag for your son at night, and continue to catch hares tomorrow." ”
Kong Shi also reacted slowly, nagged her husband twice, and prepared the table for dinner.
In the early autumn of the Northland, it is dark very early, and everyone plans to rest early to prepare for the next day's work.
Lin Wen was also about to go to the front yard, when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, and the blacksmith rushed to take a look, it turned out to be Chen Orion and his son, and there was a hare in his hand, but it was Chen Orion and his son who came to the door to apologize, and by the way, he also returned the hare that his son robbed.
These two have always been good friends, and of course they won't be unhappy because of such a little thing, and they will break up after a few words.
Early the next morning, the blacksmith couple rushed to dry the grain, and Lin Wen also took Kong Rui out.
Walking out of the town gate, Lin Wen asked Kong Rui, "Why was you beaten yesterday?"
Kong Rui chirped and said, "It should be that they saw that I caught the golden chicken, and their eyes were red, so they wanted to rob me." ”
Lin Wen asked again, "Why are others jealous of you?"
Kong Rui had no choice but to say: "They don't have the ability to do it themselves, and when they see that I am young, they know that they are bullying me." ”
"Don't you want your friends to see how good you are, how did you get bullied?"
Kong Rui remembered what he said yesterday, and he didn't know what to say.
"It's not that others are jealous of you, but you are publicizing yourself, and you want to show off to others that you have such a beautiful golden chicken, so naturally you will be beaten, and you deserve to be beaten. Lin Wen said unceremoniously.
Kong Rui was still a child, and he didn't understand these truths, so he was a little confused all of a sudden; Lin Wen said: "If you are low-key enough and hide all those things, who knows that you have hares and golden pheasants in your hands? ”
"Oh, it turns out that being a man is to be low-key!" Kong Rui understood a lot, and Lin Wen quickly explained some more reasoning to him, and Kong Rui seemed to understand a little.
When he went home in the afternoon, Kong Rui caught a total of two hares, but Lin Wen took out a cloth bag and threw it to Kong Rui to see how he moved.
Kong Rui put the hare into the cloth bag, looked back and thought about it, picked up some firewood and grass from the field and put it in the cloth bag, and then carried the cloth bag on his back, ready to follow Lin Wen home.
Seeing him behave like this, Lin Wen also felt that the son was teachable.
