Ning Jing looked helplessly at the fruit basket in his arms. The man just now was really weird. Seeing that he was not on the horse, he stuffed the fruit basket for himself. Before he could say thank you, he left. People in ancient times are all strange, but He accepted a stranger's fruit for no reason, he was a little puzzled, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, what does this person mean?If I didn't see that he was a man, I would have thought that I was being spotted. As for this basket of fruit, it is quite expensive. Go back and draw a picture, and give it to him as a return gift. (At present, this is all he can do) But where to find him!I was a little worried, suddenly my eyes lit up, and I looked in the direction of the temple, there it is!

Just like that, I went down the mountain happily. When I entered the village and returned home, it was past one in the afternoon. I was exhausted and had no lunch. Now I was hungry, so I went to the kitchen to fill a bowl of leftover porridge and ate two bowls. After a short rest, I poured out all the fruits and looked at them. There were still a lot of them. I put them on a bamboo weaving in the utility room, and then went up the mountain with the basket. The vegetables at home were gone. There are no wild vegetables to eat, so I can't eat pickles, I really can't bear it, it seems that I have to start growing vegetables tomorrow, otherwise there will be nothing to eat!

When he was about to leave, he thought about it again, and went back to his room, and changed into the set of old clothes that Village Chief Zhao had sent him. All the valuable things were put away, packed in a jar, and placed in a corner of the utility room. There was a hole he dug a long time ago, so as to prevent it from being lost. Holding a hatchet and carrying a basket, I went up the mountain!

At the foot of the mountain, I found a stick and patted it in front of it. I was afraid of snakes. He was afraid of that thing. He was afraid of it when he was a child. When he was a child, he went to the zoo, but he didn’t dare to visit the reptile museum. He was laughed at by his classmates. He was timid, but he didn't make any excuses at the time, so if you are timid, you can be timid, is he just afraid!

He didn't find many wild vegetables, but he picked some mushrooms and found some small wild onions, even though they were not big, only as thick as chopsticks, which made him happy. He decided to plant them in the yard after returning home, and eat them when they grew up. Finding ginger and garlic made him unhappy, so he pouted, cut some dead branches, and went down the mountain with his back on his back. He looked at his hands while walking, and when he found out that he had done this kind of work, he rubbed his hands into blisters. That's great, from now on when working, I have to wear gloves, even if I don't have gloves, I have to wrap my hands with old cloth, otherwise I will have to foam!

Seeing Ning Jing's back at the foot of the mountain, Mu Xingchen clenched his fists. It turned out that this person ate wild vegetables, no wonder he couldn't even afford some fruit. It seems that he has to find a way to give him something in the future, otherwise If he continues to suffer like this, it is not a problem. It can be seen that this person is definitely not from an ordinary family. Maybe there is something behind him that cannot be said!

Mu Kai and Mu Xin, who were behind them, looked at their master and murmured in their hearts: This is a good thing, this is a good thing, go back and talk to the old master about it, and say good luck!

After Mu Xingchen saw the person entering the yard, he asked, "Have you found out?"

"Returning to the young master, um, I heard from Lao Zhao that he entered the village the day before yesterday, and Master Mingyuan asked him to live in it."

Mu Xingchen nodded when he heard it, then turned through the woods and went up another mountain road where the horses were tethered. After several people got on the horses, they turned the horses' heads and went up the mountain until they stopped at a village. When they got down, the gatekeeper hurriedly opened the gate when he saw it, and let a few people in.

And because Ning Jing didn't go up the mountain, he missed the fact that there was a Zhuangzi on the mountain. He thought that there was a big mountain to the west of his house, and he didn't go in for a long time because he was afraid of getting lost.

Ning Ping returned home and left some shallots to be used at night. He planted the rest in the small garden with a hoe and sprinkled some plant ash so that they would grow faster. After watering After that, I went out of the small vegetable garden, and went into the house to prepare my stomach. This meal was over, and the meal for one person was still easy to handle!I washed a few more fruits and kept them for a while.

After the sun went down, he closed the courtyard door, went back to the house, and closed the doors and windows. It seemed that he would have to find some wormwood tomorrow, otherwise the mosquitoes would be too powerful. He drew down the curtain and was not going to light the lamp. She was going to take advantage of the moonlight and go to bed directly on the kang. She had just washed her face and feet while it was still dark, so she could go to sleep on the kang right now.

Get on the kang, pull down the mosquito net, find the mobile phone under the bed, open it quietly, listen to the pre-stored songs, and a small video, which he took when his grandfather celebrated his birthday in modern times, and all the family members in it It’s all there, watching it makes me feel uncomfortable. At that time, he never thought that he would go through this experience. After that, he would have to watch this video if he wanted to see his relatives. The corners of his eyes were a little wet, but he didn’t let the tears flow down. It's a man who doesn't flick his tears easily, this is what his grandfather told him since he was a child, so he just swallowed his tears back!In the end, he didn't know when he fell asleep, but he knew that after he put the phone away in a daze, he lost consciousness.

Early the next morning, Ning Jing woke up with the sound of cocks crowing and dogs barking. He checked the time and found that it was only after six o'clock. After waking up for a while, he woke up. After a simple wash, he had hot porridge to drink. He just packed his things and wanted to go to the village. Today is the day when the school starts, so he has to go and have a look.

When I entered the village yesterday, I was notified. Because their place is small, the school is set up in the ancestral hall of the village. There is a large courtyard, because it is a place for the ancestors of each family, so he thinks these ancients are superstitious , so the children will also be quieter, not so naughty!

When he arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, he saw many villagers waiting for him. The children in the family had all been brought. Ning Jing saw that there were about twenty or so, and they were all under ten years old. None of them were older. Here he walked over, and then saluted the people present: "Hello everyone, I have kept you waiting for a long time." The ancients got up so early!

Seeing that Ning Jing was so polite, those people quickly shook their heads: "No, it's not that we came early."

Village Chief Zhao also came over, "Mr. Ning, go in and have a look, how are we preparing?"

"Uncle Village, I don't have any fame. Don't call me Mr., just call me by my name, or I will feel uneasy." Ning Jing didn't dare to show off with these people. He is a foreigner himself. It’s not good, and then I followed people into the side room of the ancestral hall, which will be the school in the future!

After entering, Ning Jing found that in just one afternoon, the tables, chairs and benches were ready, even his seat was ready. He was very satisfied when he saw it, but suddenly remembered something important, and said, "That's right, I would like to ask all the parents, do you think these children will only be able to read and write in the future, or for the test of fame? If the test is for merit, then you have to find a good teacher. I am not good enough, I can only teach the children to read , and another important thing is that I don’t have books, and I can’t teach my children without books.” This is flawed!

Village head Zhao stroked his beard, and said, "It's okay, we have them here, as long as the children can read and write, everyone here doesn't take merit exams." After speaking, he motioned for a box of books to be put on the ground .

Ning Jing looked at a box of books on the ground, feeling really sleepy. Someone handed him a pillow. No matter what these books were, they were all useful for him to understand the world, so he opened the box, took out one of them, and flipped through the books. After flipping through, he found that the characters are not difficult, they are all traditional characters, and he knows them all, so he is relieved!

"I also need a larger board, paint it with black paint, and some white ash, mix the white ash with water, and rub it into strips thicker than chopsticks."

After hearing this, Village Chief Zhao and the villagers sitting there nodded their heads. Although they didn't know what to do, they also said that they could do it in the afternoon. He was very happy to see that the villagers were very cooperative. If he doesn't understand anything, that's enough for him to choke!

So he signaled the parents to wait outside the door, and he let the children in, and then registered one by one, telling the children that classes would start tomorrow, and then school would be over!

These children were used to living in the village, and when they heard that school was over, they all ran out. Only one child saluted Ning Jing before going out.

Ning Jing nodded when he saw her, knowing the etiquette, it seems that the tutor is still good!

When Shen Ning came out, he was holding a big box in his hand, which was really heavy. He couldn't move it by himself, so he slowly wanted to move it home.

A villager at the door came over when he saw it, without talking nonsense, he lifted up the box of books by himself, and asked, "Mr. Ning, where do you put this, I will help you."

"I want to move home and preview before class." Ning Jing looked at the black iron tower standing in front of him, his arms were as thick as his own thighs, right?He looks like Zhang Fei!How fierce!

Zhang Fei from the Black Iron Tower nodded when he saw Ning Jing like this, and then said, "My name is Qian Man." After speaking, he left.

Ning Jing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly realized that this big brother who looked like a black iron tower was originally called Qian Man.

Seeing that the villagers hadn't left, Ning Jing thought for a while, and then went to the village chief: "Uncle Village, I really want to live in this village well, and thank you all for trusting me so much, don't worry I will teach the children well. I know that the children want to study hard, so I will tell you in advance. If the big guy wants the children to take the exam, let the children come tomorrow with a brush. If you don't take the test, I will teach you a way, so you don't need to waste money on buying brushes, just find a stick, something stronger, sharpen one end, polish the pointed end smooth, and cut it into the shape of a brush. , and then use it to dip in ink and write tomorrow, so as to save the cost of buying a pen."

When those people heard it, it was okay: "If you don't practice brush calligraphy, what should you do if you go out to find a job in the future and write brush calligraphy?"

"If you don't take the merit test, you can keep accounts, write a word or something in the future, it's the same with this wooden pen, who are we, everyone knows, what do we do like those sour scholars, they write their calligraphy, we write ours. His writing with a wooden brush is also pretty good." As soon as Mr. Qian heard what Ning Jing said, he immediately answered the conversation, and he was annoyed by those sour scholars.

"Actually, there is another reason for me to say this, that is, this kind of pen saves paper. It is not as thick as a calligraphy brush, and it will save a lot of money to buy paper. Everyone knows that paper is very expensive now, so save some if you can. It’s not easy for us to live in the countryside, and saving a little is a little bit.” Ning Jing said it very bluntly, he just wanted the villagers to know that what he did was for everyone’s benefit.

The old guys looked at each other when they heard what Ning Jing said, and said to Zhao Gui, "Dagui, I will leave this matter to you. Qian Man and the others have prepared all these things, and if they are too busy, they will call a few people to help, and they will give them to the village."

After Ning Jing saw it, he looked at it in surprise, "Brother Zhao, you are a carpenter?"

"Well, yes, Brother Ning, what else do you need?"

"No, I just didn't expect it to delay your earning money yesterday."

"It's okay, and there's not much delay." Zhao Gui waved his hand.

Ning Jing smiled and saw that everyone was very cooperative, so I won’t say more. Today I have changed a lot of people’s minds. At this time, I can shut up, and then I went to school, picked up an inkstone and a few pieces of paper, and went home. I'm going to practice writing today.Otherwise, if you make a mistake when writing for the first time tomorrow, it would be a shame!
