When it was dark, the family gathered around the hot stove and finally could eat dumplings.
Tao Hongying filled three bowls first, giving one to Mr. Cui, one to Dr. Zhang, and one to the village chief and Uncle Zhao.
There aren't many dumplings, but it's just my intention.
Compared to other families, the Li family has the most fine noodles.
But there were only four bowls of dumplings left on the stove, which was not enough.
Tao Hongying had already prepared it. She also cooked sorghum rice porridge in another small pot, one bowl for each person, with pickles on the side. Four bowls of dumplings were placed in the middle of the table to eat as a dish.
Mrs. Li picked up four or five for her granddaughter, and each of her grandchildren picked up two more, so there wasn't much left.
She also wanted to give it to her son and daughter-in-law, but Li Laoer said he had a bad stomach and didn't want to eat.
Li Laosan said he wanted to drink porridge, and Li Laosi said he ate roast rabbit during the day.
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru also refused to use their chopsticks, obviously wanting to save food for the elderly and children.
These are the pillars of the family, and they always do the hardest work.
But it is the most reluctant to part with the money to eat and drink.
It seems that as long as the elderly and children have enough to eat and drink, they will be happier than eating themselves.
In the end, Mrs. Li persisted. They only ate two or three of them each and then refused to use their chopsticks again.
Jiayin grabbed the dumpling in her hand and tried to bite it with her little teeth.
Seeing her mother secretly taking out her dumpling and putting it into her father's bowl, she felt sour and warm in her heart that she almost shed tears.
Then she worked harder and harder to eat. She wanted to grow up quickly and make more money so that her family would have endless dumplings!
Day by day, the small mountain stream is like a machine.
At the beginning, the running-in was a bit awkward, but after half a month, it was running at high speed and was extremely proficient.
Patrol, night watch, drill, hunt.
No one was left behind, and every day was busy and fulfilling.
After fighting against wolves, traveling hard, risking one's life to suppress bandits, and even witnessing the tragic situation of the Guo family.
Everyone has a more intuitive understanding of this troubled world!
They don't train themselves to be stronger, they don't sharpen their knives, they don't run faster, and they don't unite.
Then their fate will not be any better than that of the Guo family!
Every day, the farm men who would have been sweating profusely in the fields, holding hatchets in their hands, kept cutting at the straw men made of tied hay.
Behead him, chop his arms, knock him down and chop his legs!
In short, they didn't practice many moves, but they were all killer moves.
Strive to use the smallest amount of effort to maximize the damage to the enemy.
Because their courage, strength, and even skills are not enough to support them in fighting any enemy with hundreds of moves.
All you can do is fight! If you fight hard, you might still be alive. If you don't fight, you'll die!
Women are in the cave, taking care of the elderly and children, boiling water for cooking, and occasionally opening the curtain to take a look below, which makes them feel much safer.
Maybe one day in the future, they might still die, but at least they struggled and fought against this bullshit world!
In the small cave, Mr. Wen was also talking to Mrs. Cui.
"Although we are called the Tianwu Dynasty, since the founding of the country two hundred years ago, Yuanzu has been suppressing military generals and civilian officials. The constant fighting between the court and the country has caused the country's strength to become worse and worse. Otherwise, it would not be oppressed by a small barbarian tribe. To this point."
"Yes, the family of military generals during the founding of the People's Republic of China have all withered away, and today's military generals cannot stop the barbarians at all. The imperial court... has done things like moving the capital! I am afraid that if the Yuanzu finds out, he will rush back from Jiuquan! "
Mrs. Cui didn't know what she was thinking of and sighed.
Mr. Cui glanced at the villagers below for the last time, and then said, "If we were Tianwu, all the people were soldiers, and all the people practiced martial arts, even if we were like the villagers below, we wouldn't have reached the point where we are now, like a lost dog!"
The words fell before he could say it . , Divine Doctor Zhang climbed up from under the cave, and the old man did not go around the bush and said directly, "Mr. Wen, I am here to lobby. The Li family wants Jiaren to worship you as their teacher, and let Jiaren follow you from now on." Study and entrust me to ask."
After that, he seemed to be afraid that Mr. Wen would not agree, so he added, "According to my opinion, I naturally hope that you will agree. Even if you don't formally accept a disciple, you can only teach for a period of time. . The Li family...even though they are just farmers, this family has some weird abilities, which are different from ordinary farmers."
"Why is it different?" Mr. Wen didn't want to refuse. After all, Jiaren is a smart and hard-working kid, and he is really a good scholar. He was also happy to see the hunter's heart, otherwise he wouldn't be able to spend all this time to teach him.
Doctor Zhang clicked his lips twice, and then said, "I can't tell, but it just feels different. In addition, I'm afraid you don't know, I came to Li's house because Ye Xiaozi brought me from Kyoto. I originally wanted to save Ye Xiaozi's life." , but when I arrived, Ye Xiaozi actually recovered completely. Ye Xiaozi said that he could heal on his own without medicine, but how is that possible? Also, this time I went south, so many families were destroyed, even the Guo family died.
But look at it The Li family, along with all the people in this village, managed not to die. Don't you think something is wrong? In short, the Li family is either blessed with deep blessings or hiding an expert. It would not be wrong to be friends with their family. ."
Mr. Wen and Mrs. Cui looked at each other and both laughed.
"Okay, then I will listen to you and accept Jiaren as my disciple." Mr. Wen agreed directly, and Doctor Zhang immediately left.
After the Li family heard about it, they were also happy, and Jiaren was even more excited.
He is very aware of Mr. Wen's knowledge. He is definitely very lucky to have Mr. Wen as his teacher.
Mrs. Li made arrangements at that time. It happened that Li Laosi was not on duty the next day, so she invited the escort leader Liu, brought Jiayi and Liu Yang, and the four of them went into the forest again, and came back with a red deer that night.
On the third day, the whole village, young and old, went down to the cave and lit a dozen bonfires.
The Li family brought out half a bag of sorghum rice, killed deer to stew meat, cooked vegetable porridge, and held a banquet.
Witnessed by the whole village, a grand apprenticeship ceremony was held for Mr. Wen and Jiaren.
Jiaren tidied everything up neatly, knelt respectfully in front of Mr. Wen, and kowtowed three times.
Mr. Wen was a little excited and said loudly, "Since you have accepted me as your teacher, you will become a member of our sect from now on. As a teacher, I want to tell you that our sect is not an unknown person. In the Tianwu academic sect, we are The Xinxue school is dedicated to the study of Xinxue. It also supports the enlightenment of people's wisdom and attaches great importance to elementary education.
Your master, my teacher, was once a great scholar of the dynasty. Because he hated the fighting in the court, he retired to the countryside and finally died of illness.
Mrs. Cui I am your senior aunt. I am your master's close disciple. I have no choice but to live a mediocre life and never carry forward the school of mind learning.
You are my first disciple. I don't know if you will have other junior disciples in the future, but as a Senior brother, from now on the glory of our school will also be in your hands.
We met at a young age and got married in hardship. As teachers, we can't help you much, but we will definitely teach you everything we have learned. Keep it!"
After that, he solemnly took out a jade pendant from his arms, "Your master carved this with his own hands and gave it to me when he accepted his disciple. Now it is given to you. I hope you will cherish it!"
