iaren
kowtows solemnly again, and then takes the jade pendant with both hands.
"Thank you sir, I will study hard in the future, carry forward the master's family, protect my relatives and friends, respect my teachers, and never slack off!"
Mr. Wen nodded and helped him stand up with his own hands.
Jiaren turned around and saluted Mrs. Cui again, "Sister-in-law."
"Hey." Mrs. Cui responded, already in tears.
I don't know if she thought of her deceased father, or she was happy that her father's teachings had a successor...
Mrs. Li felt sad, patted her on the shoulder, and advised.
"We will be a family from now on. We must look for the best in everything."
Jiayin also crawled into Mrs. Cui's arms and wiped her tears with her little hands.
Mrs. Cui hugged Jiayin tightly, but her back straightened even more.
When people in the village saw that Jiaren had become a good gentleman, they were all happy and came forward to congratulate him.
"Congratulations, Mr. Wen, for getting a good disciple."
"Yes, Mr. Wen, you don't know that Jiaren is the best child in our village."
"Yes, he studies hard, is filial and sensible, and he will definitely do nothing wrong in the future."
Mr. Wen also smiled and thanked everyone with his hands.
Suddenly, the Li family's banquet was laid out. The men sat around the shed, roasting meat and eating meat. The women also fed their children while eating.
Mrs. Li felt sorry for the half-bag of food, but she knew it was worth the money.
Sometimes she feels that this escape is really magical. If she lives a good life in Saibei, the family will be stable, but how can the fourth child and Jiayi become so strong, how can the grandson find such a good husband...
Wealth can be obtained in danger, this You can't go wrong...
After officially becoming a disciple, Mr. Wen's requirements for Jiaren have become much higher.
Jiaren went to the small cave to study almost as soon as it got dark. He didn't come back to sleep until after dark. He mostly ate, drank and had diarrhea there.
Mrs. Li simply discussed it with her daughter-in-law, and Tao Hongying followed her, fully responsible for the two meals a day in the small cave.
Although Mrs. Cui recovered and Sister-in-law Qiong helped, neither of them looked like they could do housework and could even make porridge.
In order not to waste food, to feed her children well, and to respect her teachers, Tao Hongying had to go.
Jiayin has nothing to do and often follows him.
I have to say that the pile of books in the Guo family really saved Mrs. Cui and helped her pass away too much boring time.
Sometimes, she could hold a book and sit still for an hour or two.
Occasionally I read the good news, but it was really a headache for me to read the traditional Chinese characters and I couldn't recognize them all, so I squeezed into Mrs. Cui's arms and asked her to read.
Mrs. Cui was pleased that the little girl was eager to learn, so she hugged her and half-reclined on the bed, with warm stones under her feet and a thick quilt covering her, and they read together.
When she met someone she was interested in, her eyes would sparkle when she heard the good news. The boring poems would be used as a lullaby to sleep with her mouth watering...
Tao Hongying was worried that Mrs. Cui would be bored before, but slowly she looked at her holding the good news, her face was particularly gentle. She also gave up the idea of taking her daughter out.
As a woman, she can better understand the sorrow in Mrs. Cui's heart. It would be a good thing if her daughter's innocence can bring some comfort to Mrs. Cui.
In this way, Jiayin listened to stories and books during the day, lay in bed at night, secretly practiced her mental power in space, and took care of the chickens, ducks, geese, and pigs, and her days flew by.
One day, the village chief flipped through the almanac in the package and suddenly shouted, "Oh, the New Year is in three days!"
This sentence made everyone busy. Although they were on the run and the conditions were limited, they still had to prepare for the New Year. one time.
The old year can be hard, sad, and confusing, but the new year is coming, and we must pray for good weather, peace and health.
This time, Mrs. Li decided to make a meal of dumplings that could satisfy the whole family without adding sorghum rice porridge.
Seek good omen and encourage the whole family.
In the past, the old lady looked at the bag of fine grains. This time Jiayin took advantage of the third aunt's first scoop of noodles and secretly added two more scoops.
Zhao Yuru thought it was given by the small cave and didn't care. After all, there are few people there and there is relatively a lot of food.
It happened that Mrs. Li was still talking, "Invite Mr. Wen, Mrs. Cui, and Dr. Zhang to the New Year's Eve dinner. Then ask Lao Zhao and the others, and invite them all if they can."
Xu was afraid of her daughter-in-law. Reluctant to part with it, she added, "Old Zhao and the others originally ate with our family. Mr. Wen is Jiaren's husband, and Divine Doctor Zhang is an honored guest entrusted to our family by Young Master Ye. They cannot be left behind."
Tao Hongying and Zhao Yuru certainly agreed . came down, so on New Year's Eve, the Li Family Cave was almost overcrowded.
The Li family prepared dumplings filled with dried venison and wild boar and mushrooms, stewed a large pot of rabbit meat, boiled pheasant soup, and baked two-faced pancakes mixed with sorghum noodles and thin noodles.
Everyone was well fed, chatting and laughing, and in full swing.
The same is true in other caves, with children playing and adults gossiping.
In such troubled times, it seems like everyone is dreaming that such days can exist...
But after the New Year, as the snow in the mountains and forests is melting, and the food bags of each family are dwindling, everyone knows that it is time to embark on the journey again. The day of the journey is coming.
After waiting for another half month, the snow on the sunny slopes in the mountains and forests has almost melted away.
Everyone started to pack their luggage, and they were reluctant to part with it, but things like seats and benches had to be thrown away when they should be thrown away.
Li Laosan led people to make twenty large sledges, and each family loaded them with things.
On a still cold morning, everyone had a full meal and quietly looked at the mountain stream where they had lived for four months, with reluctance in their eyes.
Especially for Jiaren, there are too many books in the Guo family. I really can't take them away, so I can only keep most of them and wait for an opportunity to pick them up in the future.
Although the entrance of the cave was blocked by his uncle and brother carrying big rocks, so that no birds or beasts could enter and cause harm, he was still worried. After all, these books were too precious... No matter how
reluctant they were to part with them, no matter how anxious they were, everyone bravely set foot on them. journey.
After a winter of training, the villagers have become more cooperative and stronger.
The remaining dozen mountains were climbed in just twenty days.
Of course, along the way, they encountered wolves and wild bears who woke up early to look for food to fill their bellies.
But this time, the wolves followed them for a day and then retreated.
The black bear even donated his bear skin and went to see the Lord of Hell.
This gave the villagers great confidence, and they became more united and more courageous.
One day in March, a family of ninety-eight people, old and young, finally stood on the top of the last mountain, looking at the Jinsha River not far below the mountain and the pier with large ships parked on the riverside. Everyone was moved to tears. Eyes filled with tears, he cried loudly.
"We're out, we're out, woo hoo, we can survive!"
Everyone couldn't bear it anymore and wished they could go down the mountain and cross the river without stopping for a moment!
The sledge that used to feel heavy was now being pulled to run very fast.
Everyone arrived at the foot of the mountain before sunset.
It's a pity that Wangshan ran to death.
Even if we reach the foot of the mountain, we are still seven or eight miles away from the pier.
The old people discussed it and decided to continue on their way. When they arrived at the dock, it would definitely be safer with the protection of the imperial army.
With hungry stomachs, everyone dragged their luggage and rushed to the pier.
The young boys kept running ahead happily, calling their parents to hurry up from time to time.
Everyone smiled. Walking on the official road took much less effort than walking in the mountains and forests.
Just when victory was in sight, a rumble of horse hooves suddenly came from behind.
Liu Biao, who was holding the battle, looked back subconsciously and his eyes were split with shock.
He yelled with all his strength, "Throw the thing away, run, run to the dock!"
