Text 620 Studying in a mountain village?
In just ten days, Li Hong and Bai Chun have completely integrated into this small mountain village, every day is like ordinary people here, there is no higher pursuit, there are not too many worries, the only thing to consider is whether there is enough food to feed the family after entering the cold winter.
In the past ten days, Li Hong and Bai Chun have never found any other outsiders coming here, and they have not even expected that the government that should be there will be a house-to-house search because they are looking for themselves.
And they are the only two outsiders in this small mountain village during this period of time, and even in the past six months, outsiders from this small mountain village.
Of course, being part of this small mountain village does not mean that people have lost their curiosity about them, and every time Bai Chun passes by a house or household, or walks on the only main road in the small mountain village, he will hear women standing in the corner basking in the sun, holding babies in their arms, or holding children as young as five or six years old.
There is awe, disdain, and even some envy in his eyes, and he will talk about her and Li Hong behind her back when she walks by.
What two people should have eloped from a neighboring village, or this man and a woman are so old that they have no children, and eighty percent of them were kicked out by their families.
The most outrageous thing is that a woman was feeding her child in full view of everyone, and said as if she exclaimed: "Yo, don't you know, that little lady's little hands, alas, are called a tender, thin skin and tender meat, which are reflected in the sun, just like jade hands, but unfortunately, there is no way to have children." ”
"But no, I went with her to collect firewood that day, I carried such a big bundle, and people took so many sticks, but that's it, I was praised by the man when I went back, and I gnawed on the face of the thin skin and tender meat and the beautiful dead man."
"I heard that this is the maid and the house slave of the noble family in the city, the two of them secretly ran out, hid here and didn't leave, ready to live here for the rest of their lives, you look at the earring when you first came, what, didn't you see it? That's really a blessing for you, that earring, sold for a lot of money in the city, I didn't see that the house is now wine and meat, no, because I didn't want to go, I brought them back from the city a good bedding and some tea, it smelled like a fragrance. ”
"Isn't it just some sun-dried leaves, which are astringent to drink."
"Be quiet, I haven't heard of her man, I just beat the second stunned person two days ago? It's not because the chewing tongue is ....... ”
"Which is chewing the root of the tongue, because I like other people's little ladies, as soon as the man goes out, he runs away from someone's house, I didn't expect that people have that in their hands...... That one...... The archery shot directly on the shoulder of the second stunned, and when the man came back, he almost discounted his leg. ”
"I heard that the two stunned people knelt down and kowtowed, and finally the man let him go, isn't this still recuperating at home."
As the women chewed their tongues, a hearty man's laughter came from a distance, and the women who heard the laughter looked at each other, and then one by one began to lower their heads and run towards their own homes.
He muttered and scolded his own man, and he didn't know what was good about the man, and he didn't know what day it started.
Every time he put firewood to Li Hong, Li Hong didn't stop him, just said hello to them with a faint smile, and then sat at the door with Bai Chun, relaxed and comfortable, drinking the "good" tea he got from the city.
The original earrings, after exchanging a quilt and cotton mattress at the beginning, the male owner of the family went to the neighboring village of thirty miles, and then followed the gentleman to Xingyang County.
Early the next morning, when Li Hong got up, he saw a newer mattress at the door, as well as some wine and tea, including cooked chicken and cooked duck without chicken legs and duck legs.
When Bai Chun opened the oiled paper package and looked at it, both of them involuntarily shook their heads and smiled, and then the two legless chickens and ducks were given to the two villagers who often helped them chop wood.
At this moment, following those villagers, he chopped firewood again, and after he came back from hunting with a bow and crossbow, his own firewood stack was naturally stacked on the firewood stack by the villagers.
And the more than 20 men in this village, who were able to obey Li Hong's words ten days after Li Hong arrived, began to be in awe of Li Hong from the first day, and when they saw the swarthy bow and crossbow behind Li Hong for the first time, although they did not know what it was for.
But looking at the dark and cold skeleton of the bow and crossbow, especially after a sharp arrow was mounted, everyone showed a look of horror.
As they themselves said, as if they were being targeted by Lord Yama, it made people's backs chill involuntarily, their hearts trembled, and their legs became weak.
And when I saw an adult deer running in the distance, I only heard a swish in my ears, and the adult deer in the distance rolled on the ground, and then stood up tremblingly, and lay on the ground without running two steps.
From that time on, when every villager looked at Li Hong, their hearts couldn't help but be filled with awe.
As for the two stunned people who wanted to tease Bai Chun, after being shot by the swallow wing crossbow in Bai Chun's hand, they fled in a hurry, and after their two brothers came back, the three of them ran to the door of Li Hong's house to theorize, and Li Hong couldn't help but say that they were cleaned up, and from then on, in this small mountain village, Li Hong and Bai Chun really integrated into it, and therefore became the only overlord in the village!
"As the so-called: poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people, you tell them the truth in the court, to the ministers, if they can understand it, there is no literate person here, let alone reason, even if you talk to the ministers on weekdays, they will only listen to half of it, so, to deal with these people, Deli Zhixin, far less effective than fists, you look at the pile of firewood that is higher than the wall of our courtyard, tell them the Four Books and Five Classics, benevolence, wisdom and etiquette, they want to understand." Li Hong leisurely took the pottery bowl and drank a large bowl of tea and said.
"If these people's ...... If their quality were better, I would rather stay here for the rest of my life, but it would be much better than in Chang'an. Bai Chun frowned and said with palpitations.
Everything is fine here, it's just these tongue-chewing roots, it's hard to pretend you can't hear, and it's like a nightmare, you don't know when they'll show up and ask what kind of questions you'll ask.
What made her even more unbearable was that they didn't even know how to avoid it, if it weren't for the fact that His Highness beat the three brothers, so that the men and women in the small mountain village would be in awe of the two of them.
These women, however, will block their doors, ask questions, ask questions from their parents, and even close the door themselves, they will take the initiative to push open the door and open the window, and lie on the window or door one by one, and they will not come in, no matter whether you pay attention to their questions or not, no matter how many times you have issued an eviction order, they are innocent and dumbfounded, watching what you do in the room.
"You're thinking about it, how many days have it been since the villagers came back with some "good" tea? It's been three or five days, right? Li Hong enjoyed Bai Chun's massage of his temples, leaned back, leaned on Bai Chun's soft chest, and muttered.
Bai Chun stopped what he was doing, looked at the sky that seemed to be bluer than Chang'an, thought for a while and said, "Strictly speaking, it should be four days, alas...... I wish I could have stayed here longer, but I don't want to be disturbed by those people, and I don't know which one is better. Looking ahead unconsciously, Bai Chun said with some confusion and contradictions.
"Then I'll find you a job to do." Li Hong closed his mind, his forehead was massaged by a pair of gentle hands, and his body was illuminated by the warm sun, which was also a good place to relax his mind.
And isn't this the time between himself and Bai Chun, which is commendable, stolen out of the two? Let's do it and cherish it.
"Don't, the last time I chopped wood, I was laughed to death, and I was laughed at by them for two days in a row, and they said ......." Bai Chun shut up and didn't say anything, he also knew that this was impossible, no matter what, he couldn't and couldn't have children.
Li Hong patted Bai Chun's hand and motioned for Bai Chun to sit down, he knew in his heart what Bai Chun was thinking, but ...... At least it's unrealistic now, so he diverted Bai Chun's attention and said: "I didn't let you chop wood again, besides, you have to join in the fun of chopping wood, who is to blame?" ”
"So what? There seems to be very little I can do here, right? Bai Chun asked, looking at the dozens of scattered houses around him.
"There are as many as forty or fifty children here who are five or six years old, or even thirteen or fourteen years old, and on average, there is more than one child in each family, so you can teach them to read and write. Li Hong recalled the news he got from chatting with the villagers when he went to the mountains.
"So many?" Bai Chun asked with some surprise.
She had been here for ten days, and though she seldom went out most of the time, sitting at the door chatting with His Highness, or strolling through the back mountains, or staring at the stream fishing.
But these ten days have also changed this small mountain village, and I don't see so many children anywhere.
Li Hong smiled, shook his head and said: "Forty or fifty may be because I said less, they don't know how to read, how can they know how to count?" Teach you arithmetic, I'm afraid there is no more here, using the arithmetic chip is my original calculation method of Datang, the villagers can give me a number, I think it is also based on the more than 30 households I said, estimated and figured, so, these forty or fifty people, definitely not the largest number. ”
