Chapter 021: To Each According to His Needs
The two yacha had been searching the yard, but what could they find? It was not that they had not thought of searching the pond, but that they did not think it was necessary. Li Wenjun was summoned by Zhou Wei, and after giving away the book, some of them kept staring at Li Wenjun, and they didn't see Li Wenjun throwing anything into the pond.
The officials tossed and turned until the second half of the night, and found nothing here in Li Wenjun. The two truthfully reported to Wu Xuemei, Wu Xuemei's face was frosty, and the man in black whispered a few words to her.
Wu Xuemei pointed to the set of dictionaries on the stone table and said, "Li Wenjun, the institute has always been my idol, and I like this set of dictionaries that he personally gave me, can you pass it on to me?"
Wu Xuemei's phoenix eyes revealed the light of ambition, Li Wenjun dared to spit out half a word, she would not only rob hard, but also let Li Wenjun taste the means of her county lord's daughter.
Li Wenjun didn't know that there was such a thing as a dictionary in the world before, but now that he knows, he doesn't care so much about this set of dictionaries, he said very happily: "If Miss likes it, just take it." ”
Wu Xuemei waved her hand, and a messenger stepped forward and put away the entire set of dictionaries without pulling them away.
Wu Xuemei looked at Li Wenjun with disdainful eyes like ants, and said in the same tone as a subordinate: "Li Wenjun, you remember, no matter what the hospital gives you in the future, you have to send it to me as soon as possible." If you dare to carry anything behind my back, I'll let my father arrest you and squash in jail, you know?"
"Yes, I remember. "Li Wenjun will cooperate as much as he wants at this time, he just wants to send Wu Xuemei, the female plague god, away as soon as possible.
Wu Xuemei nodded with satisfaction and walked away with everyone.
Wu Yiming took out a piece of silver, ten taels of silver, and put it on the stone table. He said to Li Wenjun apologetically: "I'm sorry, Brother Li, you can buy another set of dictionaries." ”
After sending a few plague gods away, Li Wenjun had just closed the courtyard door and sat at the stone table, ready to take a breath, when someone chiseled the courtyard door of his house.
Li Wenjun opened the courtyard door, and one of the two yamen just now went and returned, he spread his big hand towards Li Wenjun and said, "Boy, bring the silver that the second young master gave you just now." ”
Li Wenjun flashed and made way for the yacha, he pointed to the stone table and said, "Where is the silver, I haven't taken care of putting it away." Master Yacha, if you want it, take it. ”
Yacha laughed and said, "Boy, you are very good. I won't embarrass you. ”
He went over, took the ingot of silver in his hand, took a string of copper coins from his bosom, threw it on the stone table, and said, "Take this string of copper coins, and look for the one who collects the tattered, and you can buy a set of dictionaries." ”
After saying that, the yacha took the silver in his arms and left with a smile on his face.
Li Wenjun shook his head secretly, what kind of master there is, what kind of servant there is, this Wu Xuemei and Yacha are not good birds and good people, and it is not easy for him to conflict with them now.
Although he has killed wolves and killed old Taoists, he has never had a conflict with an adult strong man head-on. The loss is small, the key is to offend Wu Xuemei for a set of dictionaries, it's not worth it. Li Wenjun still has to keep a useful body to learn the methods of the immortal family, there is no need to conflict with the county master before he completes his studies.
The next day, Sun Jianing and his mother came to see Li Wenjun together, and the two of them asked about the birth last night, and after making sure that Li Wenjun was okay, they also put their minds at ease.
Sanshan Academy couldn't go there, Li Wenjun began to think about whether to take out the old Taoist book and start to study the above content. However, without a dictionary at hand, Li Wenjun really didn't dare to learn it, in case he encountered words and sentences he didn't know and explained them by himself, it would be troublesome.
After thinking about it, Li Wenjun decided to walk around the county to see if he could find a bookstore that sold Taizu's dictionary.
For the time being, Li Wenjun does not plan to leave the county seat of Sanshan County, if he leaves at this time, he may be mistaken by Wu Xuemei for his weak heart, if Wu Xuemei finds someone again and puts him in the prison of the county government, he will have to shed his skin if he does not die.
All things considered, it is safer to stay in the county seat of Sanshan County for the time being, and if he can be here and learn the old immortal methods, if Wu Xuemei wants to move him again, he will have the means to resist, he really forced him to be anxious, throw a fireball out, and burn Wu Xuemei to death first.
Of course, now, he can't compare with the power of the county lord Wu Tao's family, let alone resist.
The news that Sanshan Academy is going to be disbanded has spread, and Sun Jianing will no longer go to school, he is ready to stay at home and take care of his father's injuries, and in the future, he may have to take on the burden of supporting his family.
Li Wenjun called Sun Jianing and asked him to accompany him around the county to see where he could get the Taizu dictionary.
The county seat of Sanshan County is not very large, seven miles long from east to west, five miles long from north to south, and there is only one bookstore in the entire county.
According to the owner of the bookstore, a set of Taizu dictionaries, the purchase price alone costs ten taels, plus various costs such as freight, they generally have to sell about fifteen taels, such an expensive book, few people in the entire Sanshan County can afford it, and the few people who can afford it do not necessarily need it, so they did not enter.
The owner of the bookstore asked Li Wenjun if he wanted it, and if he wanted, he could help him get a set, but he needed Li Wenjun to pay five taels of silver as a deposit.
Five taels of silver is definitely not a small amount for a teenager like Li Wenjun. Li Wenjun still knew the truth that wealth was not exposed, and when he was hesitating whether to respond, a scholar walked in.
"Boss, do you accept used books here?" shouted the scholar as soon as he entered the door.
"Lu Xiucai, are you selling books again? You can't open the pot at home again?" asked the bookstore owner.
The scholar nodded with a wry smile and said, "My lady is pregnant with Liujia, and she is hungry all day long, and she has eaten up all the food at home. I had no choice but to sell books. ”
The bookstore owner patted his head and said, "I remember, Lu Xiucai, you seem to have a set of Taizu dictionaries at home." It just so happens that this little brother needs it, and the book is kept, it's just a set of furnishings, and you can't eat it, so you might as well sell it to this little brother, right? ”
Lu Xiucai is also sick and rushed to the doctor, as long as he can sell it for money and let him buy rice and grain, he is willing to do anything at this time. "Little brother, do you want the Taizu dictionary? My set of Taizu dictionaries is still left by the ancestors, eighty percent new, if you like it, I will sell it to you for one or two silver." ”
"I'm going to take a look at that set of Taizu dictionaries first, if I really want you to say, eighty percent new, intact, I'll buy it. Li Wenjun said.
"Okay, you come with me. ”
Lu Xiucai took Li Wenjun and Sun Jianing to his house, and turned out a set of Taizu dictionaries from the bookshelf, which was covered with a layer of dust, and it could be seen that Lu Xiucai had not read them for a long time.
Lu Xiucai patted the ash on it, and then handed the dictionary to Li Wenjun with a smile.
This set of dictionaries is indeed seventy or eighty percent new, and there are some traces of flipping through it, and after opening it, Li Wenjun now has blank margins in the dictionary, and there are some notes written in small letters.
Li Wenjun read a note, and immediately decided to buy this set of Taizu dictionaries, he took out two taels of silver and handed it to Lu Xiucai.
Lu Xiucai didn't expect Li Wenjun to be able to give an extra tael of silver, and he was very grateful.
Li Wenjun didn't expect that he would be able to buy a complete set of Taizu dictionaries for two taels of silver, and the more surprising he was that there were many annotations on this dictionary, all of which were left by Lu Xiucai's ancestors, and they were all reinterpreted for some words and sentences on the dictionary, and these explanations corroborated each other with the words and sentences in the dictionary, which allowed him to better understand the meaning of the words.
This is really a set of reference books for Li Wenjun, who has only known more than 2,000 words.
took the dictionary and returned home with Sun Jianing, and then, he was not in a hurry to get out the things he hid, but went to the mule and horse market, bought a big dog to take care of the house, and spent some time to build a kennel for the big dog.
With a dog, although it cannot completely prevent someone from secretly peeping or sneaking into his house, it can also eliminate this hidden danger in a considerable way.
Subsequently, Li Wenjun spent a few more days secretly observing the vicinity of the house, and no one was secretly monitoring him. It may be that no one is spying on him at all, or it may be that the means of the people who are secretly monitoring him are too high, which is beyond the scope of Li Wenjun's coping.
Compared with the two, Li Wenjun is more inclined to believe the former. The only one who could spy on him was Wu Xuemei, last time, he asked Wu Xuemei to search inside and out of her house, and asked her to take away all the Taizu dictionaries that were given to him around him, he has nothing to pay attention to Wu Xuemei here, unless she is too suspicious, otherwise, she will not spend time and energy on him anymore.
On this day, Li Wenjun, who had slept soundly, got up from the bed, washed, ate, and cleaned up, Li Wenjun took out the baggage he had hidden and took out all the two books.
Li Wenjun can now know more than 2,000 words, this time he spread out the two books, glanced at them, and read out the names of the two books, the first book is called "Changchun Gong", and the second book is called "Miscellaneous Treatises on Cultivating Immortals".
Li Wenjun remembered that night, when he overheard the conversation between the sixth senior brother and the seventh immortal, he had mentioned "cultivating immortals" more than once, and he didn't think much about it, so he decided to read "Miscellaneous Treatises on Cultivating Immortals" first.
Li Wenjun opened the book, read it carefully from beginning to end, and when he encountered a word he didn't know, he would open the Taizu dictionary and check its pronunciation and interpretation.
