Salt Xiao Fulang

Chang Mi was a little dizzy, so she sat down against the wall on the spot.A human voice could be faintly heard, but the voice seemed far away. His little head couldn't do too complicated thinking, and gradually fell asleep.

Song Xu knocked on the wall but got no response, feeling a little uneasy for some reason.Yuan Shan said knowingly: "Do you want to turn over and have a look? There is a ladder in the backyard. I packed it up yesterday."

Song Xu was particularly satisfied with Yuan Shan's ability to understand, and the two of them worked together to lift the ladder out and put it on the wall.

Song Xu: "Am I crazy? I feel like the next door is enough to sue me for trespassing."

Yuan Shan supported the ladder and watched him climb up: "I'm not afraid of [-], just in case someone is really trapped?"

as expected.Song Xu climbed up the wall, looked down and saw a child crooked below.

"Fuck!" He was startled, and quickly waved to Yuan Shan: "Go and call Xiaochun to help the ladder, and you come up too!"

The whole family was dispatched, and several people worked together to prop the ladder to the wall, and then slowly set it to the other side.Song Xu and Yuan Shan went down the ladder carefully, and put the child against the wall down.

"What's the matter?" Xiaochun was worried when he heard that there was a child over there.Song Xu yelled at him through the wall: "I fainted!"

Seeing that the child's breathing was still stable, but his face turned pale, Song Xu temporarily gave up the idea of ​​dealing with the neighbors, picked up the child first, and slowly climbed the ladder back to the small yard.

"What's going on, you said he wanted steamed buns just now?" Xiaochun wiped Chang Mi's face with a cool cloth towel.

"Yes, did you faint from hunger?"

Chang Mi was awakened by the cold touch on his forehead, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw several strangers gathered together to look at him.

"...Ah." He said blankly, "Do you have steamed buns?"

Song Xu couldn't laugh or cry: "There are no steamed buns, can I eat rice?"

"……eat!"

Seeing that he didn't look like he was seriously ill, even though Xiaochun was worried, she cooked a pot of porridge to cushion his stomach.Fearing that he would not be able to digest it, he did not add anything else, so he cut a small plate of pickled radish.

This food is appetizing and delicious. I don’t know if I have never eaten it before, and I can’t stop taking a bite. After a while, I emptied the small plate, and I still look like I still have something to say.

Seeing that he didn't seem to be in serious trouble, Song Xu sent Yuan Shan out to make a bed first, and he and Xiao Chun circled around this kid who introduced himself as "Chang Mi".

There is no other reason... Little Chang Mi is really too much fun.

"Why do you want us to ask for steamed buns?"

"Because I'm hungry."

"Then how can you repay us for eating our porridge?"

"Help you count the money."

"We can count money ourselves!"

"I can count fast and well."

"Okay, then I'll test you. I bought eight bags of polished rice, [-] Wen each, and brother Xiaochun next to me bought three bags of brown rice, [-] Wen each. How much did you spend in total?"

"190 nine articles."

Song Xu raised his eyebrows.

Three-digit addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and pure mental arithmetic are not something a four- or five-year-old child should know.If he remembers correctly, in modern times, it is not learned until at least the third and fourth grades of elementary school.

If it wasn't an accident, the cute child with snow-white complexion in front of him is indeed a math genius. It seems that the saying that he can count money well is true.

He wanted to tease the little guy, and then asked: "I bought eight bags of polished rice, and Xiaochun bought three bags of brown rice. When we got home, we poured the rice into a big bag. How many bags of rice are there now?"

Xiao Chang Mi was finally stunned for a moment.

"... Eleven bags."

"Wrong, it's all poured in, isn't there only one bag left hahahaha!"

Xiaochun: "..."

He looked at the dazed Chang Mi distressedly, and decided to unilaterally hate Brother Xu for a minute.

Chang Mi reacted quickly, and finally showed a bit of embarrassment and indignation on her face that had been stern.

"I didn't think right just now, come again."

"...Okay, there are seven sparrows in the tree, I killed one with a slingshot, how many are left?"

Chang Mi thought for a while, no matter how he counted it was six, he hesitated and said, "...six?"

"It's wrong again! I shot it with the slingshot, and the other birds flew away!"

Chang Mi: "..."

So angry.

Song Xu saw that he was a bit unconvinced, he was a small person, his cheeks were puffed up, and he quickly smoothed things over: "Okay, okay, I asked some bad questions, you are very good, and you are good at counting."

"Yes, do you want me to count, or can I still count tomorrow?" Speaking of this, he suddenly froze, turned around and ran to the persimmon tree outside.

"I was sleeping on the other side of the wall before!" He was startled, only then did he realize how miraculous his universe teleportation is: "Do you know spells!?"

Even if he is a math prodigy, he is just a four or five-year-old kid in other respects. He is far smarter than his peers when he speaks so fluently. At this moment, he is showing some innocence, which is so cute that people want to hold it in their hands.

But he had to puncture the child's fantasy: "No, it's a ladder." He pointed to the wooden ladder in the corner, Chang Mi saw it, and ran over to look at the ladder again.

He had never seen a ladder before, and didn't know that such a thing could help people climb over high walls. Now that he had seen it, he didn't think it was any worse than spells—they were all magical props that could do incredible things.

"Well, can you lend it to me for three days, I'll count the money for you, don't need to give me steamed buns." Chang Mi said seriously.

Xiaochun worried: "Are you going back to the next door? Is your family not caring about you? You're starving such a small child... What should I do if I'm starving?"

Chang Mi then briefly talked about his life experience.

He was clear and clear, and Song Xu and Xiaochun looked at each other worriedly after they understood.

Xiao Chun said: "Did someone come to check if you are in the yard? If you are not found, will you be punished?"

Chang Mi shook her head: "I don't know either. I haven't been here before."

It is difficult for honest officials to decide on housework, and they are not officials yet, so there is really no reason to directly come to the door to stand up for the baby.The two discussed it, and decided to send Chang Mi over the ladder first, and then take the child to sleep after the lights were turned off at night if no one came.

After all, Song Xu had just walked around the abandoned garden. It was really worse than the ruined temple in the mountains, and there was not a single one in Caodianzi.Even in the summer, you can't abuse children like this, right?

After the agreement was made, Song Xu and Xiaochun worked together to climb over the wall again.Chang Mi went back there, still staying by the wall and playing weeds.Xiaochun was restless, and would go over there to knock on the wall from time to time to have a word with Chang Mi.

In the evening, Yuan Shan finally bought a new bed board. Several craftsmen worked together to carry the wooden bed to their yard, rested for a while, and then moved it to the den.

"Let's talk about the arguing with the dentist in a few days. Make the bed softer every day, and Chang Mi will come to sleep at night."

"Sleeping with you?" Jiang Tiantian looked at Song Xu in amazement: "Are you willing to put a doll in the middle when you sleep?"

Xiaochun felt embarrassed, turned her head and entered the kitchen, Song Xu was very proud: "No way, who would make Husband like it?"

The craftsmen were about to leave after putting up the bed and paying the bill, but bumped into someone when they reached the door.

The visitor shouted hurriedly: "Brother Song! Your letter!"

It was someone from Huitong Trading Company in Fucheng, Gyeongju, and they had kindly entertained them for a few days before.Because there is no stronghold for the commercial firm further north, Song Xu explained before leaving that if he had a letter from them, he would be able to find out where he lived if he asked the largest dental firm in Yongcheng.

Who knew that it was only the first day after moving here that I received the letter.

Song Xu stayed with the courier for dinner, but the other party hurriedly slipped away, Jiang Tiantian and Xiaochun were still busy in the kitchen, so Song Xu read the letter first.

This is a letter from Mo Shi'an, the first line is a sentence of thunder.

"Brother Song, Zhan Xinjia. Qian Xiaoyu is dead."

Xiaoyu is dead! ?

This death was too close, even though Song Xu knew intellectually that he was a bad person, he couldn't calm down for a while.

Was it because the imperial envoys thoroughly investigated the Qian family after they arrived and killed them together?But would Brother Mo just let him go?

Yuan Shan couldn't read, so he saw Song Xu's expression was different, so he retreated silently, leaving him room to digest.

Mo Shi'an briefly explained what happened after the letter.

After they left at the beginning of the year, County Magistrate Yuan had a good time because of the arrival of his mentor.He sent everyone in the Qian family, including his concubine, to prison, and half of the Qian family's property went into his own and his teacher's pockets.

Chunyang County was prosperous for a short period of time. At first glance, it was full of flowers, but in fact, every shopkeeper with some money was interviewed in private by the county magistrate.Those who pay pay, those who shut up shut up, and strive to see the beautiful and flawless Chunyang County when the imperial envoy comes.

Caixiu, who was far away in the next town, heard the news from nowhere, and regardless of her new life, she decided to come back and report the collusion between the county magistrate and the Qian family to the imperial envoy.

County magistrate Yuan thought everything was settled, but when the banquet was held, Caixiu broke into him in the middle of nowhere.Caixiu was seriously injured in the struggle, but she also tore through the illusion of magnificence.

The imperial envoy was furious and thoroughly investigated the situation in Chunyang County.The matter of the Qian family has been settled, but the crime of Yuan county magistrate is still open to question.At this moment, Qian Xiaoyu stood up.

The letter wrote: "Xiaoyu is not a good boy. I violated my morals and left him. I thought there was still room for correction. Unexpectedly, in the spring, he got tuberculosis and died soon. I took him around the neighborhood. He grew brighter by day, but could not sleep at night, haunted by nightmares, and weakened day by day."

"Later, we couldn't walk anymore, and we returned to Chunyang County. Xiao Yu was deeply shocked when he learned that the imperial envoy had arrived, and that Caixiu came out to sue the Qian family for all kinds of evil deeds. The next day, he insisted on meeting the imperial envoy. , confided all kinds of evidence of Yuan Maolin's crimes, and finally assisted the imperial envoy to convict him. Yuan Maolin and his mentor will be escorted to the capital."

"Xiao Yu is a sinner. Even if he reported Yuan Maolin, he himself went to jail. He was already in very bad health, so he left that night. I was a little sad that I couldn't see him for the last time."

"Brother Song, I have been depressed these days. I can't figure out something, and I am very frustrated. I want to travel north to meet your future appointment. If I happen to stay in Qingzhou, I will ask the people from Fucheng Commercial Bank to give me a hand. I delivered the letter. I miss the craftsmanship of my brother and sister-in-law."

There are also a few sheets of letter paper at the back, which describe the situation of each city in Gyeongju, and Yongcheng also has a separate sheet.In it, the time and precautions for trade outside the customs are written in every detail, and there are several major forces, each with their own characteristics, and the Chang family is impressively included.

Song Xu's heart was sour, and he felt that Brother Mo might have been planted.

Even if you raise a kitten or puppy, you will still have feelings after a long time. Even if you don't have a deep love for Qian Xiaoyu, but even if you have a little affection, you will inevitably feel sad when you die before your eyes.

Song Xu didn't dare to put himself in his shoes, so he had to put away the letter paper and tell Xiaochun about it later in the evening.

Because of this letter, he was a little absent-minded.After Xiaochun's meal was almost done, he asked Xiao Changmi about the situation over there through the wall. Xiao Changmi said that no one came to the waste garden at all, and his father planned to starve him for three days, let alone the servant who didn't deliver the food. will come.

Xiaochun thought, why did he just take the person over?If it's really exposed, just say invite the young master to be a guest!Then is it possible that the Chang family can go to the government to sue him for child abduction?

Having made up his mind, Xiaochun unscrupulously brought Chang Mi over, and a table of dishes was set up, the long-lost Xiaochun's craftsmanship.

Let alone Xiao Changmi, Yuan Shan couldn't stop eating.Song Xu single-handedly taught Xiaochun, but now Xiaochun is better than blue.

Song Xu picked up a piece of sweet and sour pork tenderloin and bit it down. The crispy pastry was filled with juicy gravy. It was so delicious that he came back to his senses. He forgot about Qian Xiaoyu and grabbed the food with Xiao Changmi instead. .

It's really interesting to play with Chang Mi.Chang Mi is cute and smart, usually with a stern face, but when he is angry he is very lively, he is a child who fits his and Xiaochun's eyes very much.

After Song Xu heard about his life experience, he vaguely had an idea.Seeing that Xiaochun likes him so much now, that thought intensified a bit.

Anyway, it will take some time before the opening and closing, and Brother Mo is coming, so why not stay in Yongcheng for a while longer.

If there is a chance, taking Chang Mi away is also a good choice.
