Another World Baixin

The Lin family’s study used to be a reception room, and there were no books in it. Now it has a new look: the bookshelves are placed against the wall, and there are some enlightenment books, poems, books, rituals, classics, strategies, etc. on it; There are miscellaneous notes and unofficial history books on the big desk, which are for Lin Xun's special use. The two small desks are filled with pens, ink, paper and inkstones, and Bai Xin and Chang Liushui are writing on them at this time.

"Snapped!"

"Oh!—" Bai Xin touched the top of his head hit by the book, and looked up at the assailant.

"What are you thinking?" Lin Xun looked at him calmly.

Bai Xin said casually: "I don't know if prey has entered the buried trap."

Lin Xun: "..."

The two children have been studying at Lin Xun's place for a while. Because of Qin's strict discipline, Chang Liushui is good at memorizing and practicing handwriting. They honestly follow "Mr. Lin"'s orders.In contrast, Bai Xin gave Mr. Lin quite a headache.Bai Xin has never written calligraphy before, and he just started to learn it now, but the font is still crooked, so ugly that Lin Xun couldn't help but hit him several times.What's more, he has no patience in his studies, and the long flowing water next to him is quietly practicing calligraphy, but after practicing a few times, his mind wanders around the world.In exchange for letting him twist straw ropes and weave baskets to do some handicrafts, he can enjoy himself from morning to night.

"Uncle, I'm not such a brain for learning!" Bai Xin said to Lin Xun in this way: "I just thought, earn a lot of money, buy a big yard, have a few servants to take care of me, and be a child comfortably. Landlord—but there is too little land in the village, so it’s better to be a grandfather, as long as you have money. Of course, Ah Shui followed me.”

Lin Xun almost laughed angrily at him, slapped the table and shouted at him: "Absurd! You are so ambitious as a man?! It doesn't matter if you have money if you are uneducated. There are so many rich people in the world, and anyone can bully them. you!"

"If you take the exam, by virtue of your student status, you will be higher than ordinary rich people. It is said that the landlord has more land, but the tax is the same, but the landlord is also a student, so he does not need to pay tax!" Slowly said: "If you want to make a lot of money, you have to do business; in business, you must deal with the government. If you have fame, the government will not make things difficult for you arbitrarily. It can be seen that the usefulness of learning is not limited to what you have learned. It's also related to your money and status!"

Bai Xinyin said: "Then I can be exempted from the land tax if I become a scholar?"

"..." Lin Xun forced a smile and said, "It's about the same." But he thought in his heart: let you take the initiative to refer to it first, and then find other things.

But I don't know, Bai Xin thought: Anyway, I made it clear that I only pass the exam as a scholar, and I will take the exam slowly. Uncle Lin will not stay here and spend ten or twenty years with me.

The two had their own thoughts, but the other person in the study only wanted to trace his own handwriting, and did not get involved between the two of them.

Then Lin Xun found that Bai Xin's thoughts still hadn't come back to the words, and said helplessly: "Since you are still thinking about it, pack up the things on the table, go out and bring snacks and water, and I will take you to the mountains for a walk." change."

This remark lifted Bai Xin's spirits, and he finished writing the handwriting with a few strokes of "shua shua" and showed it to Uncle Lin.

Lin Xun took it over and compared what he had written before, then put the two copybooks up in front of him, stared at him and said, "Look for yourself! How is this handwriting so much better than the original writing! It can be seen that you deliberately perfunctory me earlier. Right!"

Bai Xin chuckled, pretending to be stupid, "It must be because of your encouragement just now that I performed extraordinary."

"Hmph!" How could Lin Xun believe it.

Seeing that Uncle Lin didn't pursue the matter anymore, Bai Xin asked Chang Liushui to help him clean up the desk, while he ran to the lobby, took out some snacks from the cabinet where the snacks were placed, wrapped them in oiled paper, and went to the kitchen to fill three bamboo tubes with hot water— — Today there is a sea breeze and the weather is cold.Every two days, servants from the town would come to the Lin family to deliver various things, and the Lin family's snacks were all top-notch.

After taking food, water and tools, the three of them were fully equipped and went out.

After walking for a while, he met Bao Changbai Youcai.The security chief was very happy today, and he said cheerfully to Lin Xun: "It's lunch time soon, Lin Xun, where are you taking the two children?"

Lin Xun responded simply: "Go around the top of the mountain."

Although the other party didn't pay much attention to him, Bai Baochang's enthusiasm remained undiminished, "I'm going to find you. I heard that you are very knowledgeable, and now you are teaching them how to read and write. It's no different to teach two children or three children The difference? Look, can you teach my son by the way? He is six years old this year, and he should be enlightened."

Speaking of the six-year-old child in Baochang's family, Bai Xin remembered that when he first arrived here, he had received a little fat prick that fell from a tree.Then Lin Xun could hear Lin Xun say: "President Bai, I don't plan to open a library to teach students. I only have a pen and ink in my belly. I have taught Ah Xin for a long time, but I still can't teach him to write. If It would be a pity to delay your child. Why don't you find old Mr. Bai Hongming."

"It's okay. My child is only six years old and doesn't know any words. What can be wasted. Think again?" Bai Youcai continued to ask without giving up.

Lin Xun still did not agree.

For this reason, Bai Youcai put away his good mood and said with a smirk: "Since this is the case, then don't bother me." Before leaving, he said meaningfully: "There may be a big storm recently, Mr. Lin, remember to lock the doors and windows! "

Lin Xun was thoughtful, but when he turned his head, he saw that Bai Xin was also frowning and thinking about something, he felt happy, and stretched out his big hand to mess up his hair bun, "There is uncle here, you little fellow is just thinking about it What! Go away!"

Bai Xin was very upset when he rubbed it. He pulled his hair with both hands, trying to straighten it.Chang Liushui hurried to help him.

When the three of them passed by the gate of the ancestral hall, they suddenly heard an old woman shouting: "Who has an extra duck in the duck pen, and the one with the red thread on the foot, let me out quickly! ... I have a duck in my house!" Who ran away, please let me go when you see it! There are marks on the duck's feet, tied with a red thread!..."

She yelled as she walked, and when she met the three of them, she stopped and asked, "Have you seen my ducks? Have you gone to your house? If you see them, tell me immediately!"

Chang Liushui hurriedly replied: "Ms. Zhang, your family has white ducks, right? Our family only has five ducks, and we can count them at a glance. There is no sixth one. Uncle Lin's house is full of vegetable ducks, and no white ducks have been found. .”

This Zhang family's next door is the old master Bai, after all, the grievances and grievances towards the Bai family are clearer, and he feels that such a poor person as Bai Xinchang Liushui would not dare to deceive her.Hearing this, she stopped pestering her and continued to search and shout.

It was the first time for Lin Xun to encounter such a thing, and he felt incredible.Seeing this, Bai Xin touched Chang Liushui quietly, asking him to take this opportunity to talk to Uncle Lin to increase his goodwill.Ah Shui didn't notice Bai Xin's small thoughts, and explained to Lin Xun: "There are often chickens and ducks in the village that wander off and disappear elsewhere. When the owner calls out like this, other people will know to see if there are any more in their chicken and duck circles." Some of them ran away with other people's chickens and ducks, and were released only after the family found out." Of course, there are also bad-hearted people who will not return the poultry to the owner's house, but will kill and eat the poultry on the same day to destroy the evidence.

Ah Shui didn't say it clearly, Lin Xun couldn't think of it.No longer thinking about these disappointing things, he led the children through the path to the back mountain, where the back mountain was close to Shoushan, where they had already set several traps.

When Bai Xin arrived on the mountain, he fell behind Lin Xun and Chang Liushui. It was not because he was timid, but because of his physique. What should I do if I rushed forward to scare the prey away? things.Even when he taught Ah Shui to hunt, he hid a certain distance behind Ah Shui.

About to reach the first trap, Lin Xun suddenly said a word, which made Bai Xin break out in a cold sweat!He said, "Ah Xin, did you raise a little golden snake?"

All of a sudden, Bai Xin's heart was full of mixed feelings, his head turned to other places, and his eyes kept rolling.

Chang Liushui was quite frightened. He grabbed Bai Xin worriedly, "Ah Xin, have you ever seen the snake that Uncle Lin mentioned? Is it poisonous? Is it dangerous?"

Lin Xun laughed secretly.On the other hand, Bai Xin wanted to say to Ah Shui: "We are the same, you help outsiders to press your husband!"

Bai Xin thought about it, and pretended to be stupid: "I just found it by chance, and I kindly gave it an egg for a while, but I rarely saw it appear after that, even if it appeared, it was to eat eggs. It must be that life in the wild is not easy. ,hehe."

It is enough to lie to Chang Liushui, Lin Xun didn't bother to poke him, he just said: "Be careful in the future, stay away from it, after all, wild animals are hard to tame, if you are bitten, it will be too late to regret it!"

Bai Xin nodded obediently, "How did Uncle Lin find it?"

Lin Xunheng smiled and said, "I saw it basking in the sun on the roof of the duck pen a few days ago. When it saw me, it slipped away."

"Hehe..." Bai Xin was speechless.

The trap was close at hand, and the three of them fell silent at the same time.The cover above the sinkhole has been damaged, leaving a string of footprints on the ground.Lin Xun asked the two children to back off, and he stepped forward to check in person.

Bai Xin gestured to the blurred footprints on the ground, and found that the footprints were not big, somewhat like peach blossoms.Immediately afterwards, I saw Lin Xun motioning for them to go over.It turned out that there was a wolf in the pothole!It was gray and black, and had been stabbed to death by bamboo slices buried at the bottom of the pit, leaving a hole of blood, and it seemed that it had been dead for several hours.

The gray wolf's death was a bit miserable, Bai Xin quickly blocked Chang Liushui's sight, "Ah Shui, don't look!"

Chang Liushui was not very happy, pushed him away, and said: "I am older than you, I am not afraid of killing chickens and ducks, how can I be afraid of seeing this!"

"Oh." Bai Xin stepped aside.

But when Uncle Lin took out the rope with the iron hook, he sighed: "It's a pity, a good wolf skin." He put down the rope, hooked the wolf's body, stabilized the lower body, and pulled hard with both hands. Pull, quickly drag out the prey.

Chang Liushui said first, "Leave it to me!"

Lin Xun would not be polite to him, and gave him the prey directly, while he and Bai Xin quickly set up a trap.Then the three left quickly, fearing that the smell of blood would attract the beasts in Shoushan.

Not all of the traps in the back had prey waiting for them to retrieve. There were bloodstains left outside the two potholes. I don't know if the prey ran away by itself or was eaten by others.In the end, a wolf, two hares, and a mountain li (which looks exactly like a black goat) were harvested, which can be described as a bumper harvest.But to Lin Xun's disappointment, except for the prey that died in the trap, he didn't see any other living animals along the way, and the hunting activities could not be carried out.

Regarding this, Bai Xin felt quite guilty, "Uncle, there are enough of these today, after all, this is only a mountain top, and there are not many wild animals. Let's go back, it won't be so good when the blood gets into the back mountain, right?" !"

Because he brought two children here, Lin Xun was very concerned about safety, so after hearing what he said, he immediately went back home.

Lin Xun carried Shanli on his back, Bai Xin carried the wolf on his back, two hares, and Chang Liushui led them in various ways.Back in the village, people saw the three of them with their backs full of prey, and gathered around to watch.

Gong Xi also came over, and said loudly, "Yo! Such a big wolf! Hey! Bai Xin, behind you is Shanli! You have taken a lot of tonic!" While talking, he stretched out his hand to grab Bai Xin's waist Pannier.

Before Bai Xin could make a move, Lin Xun slapped Gong Xi's restless hand, stared at him and uttered a few bloody words coldly: "Be careful, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold back my strength next time, and I'll kill you!" His hand was crippled as a wolf's paw!"

Gong Xihe had been threatened by Ru Linxun before, and immediately turned pale and ran home.When others saw this, they all kept silent, not daring to watch any more.

It is said that hunters and butchers, if ordinary people are not brave enough, don't provoke them, today is a good experience.However, some people did not see it with their own eyes and refused to believe it. They only said that the villagers who said these words were timid and afraid of getting into trouble, and they wanted to touch the tiger's butt for fun.

After driving away the villagers who had done good deeds, the three hurried back.Unexpectedly, I heard Mrs. Zhang, who had lost her duck, scolding again.

This time Mrs. Zhang held the knife in one hand and the chopping board in the other. He chopped the chopping board a few times with the knife, and then cursed: "Whoever hid my ducks, let me out quickly! Otherwise, I won't be polite when I find out." ! Who locked my duck and let it out quickly! If you don’t let it out, I’ll never end with you!”

Once someone saw it, Mrs. Zhang would chop up the chopping board vigorously in front of others as a threat.

Meeting Bai Xin and the other three again, Mrs. Zhang looked at them in the basket in surprise, and then went away sullenly, chopping up the chopping board and cursing, the sound of the cold wind gradually covering her voice.
