Chapter 9: Nine babies

Blame?
Of course Xu Zhen will not be so formal.
She picked up a branch casually and put it on her back, pretending to be a thorn.
The sun squeezed weakly into the house.
Xu Zhen was standing at the door, pulling a white strap, tying the branch on his back firmly, and putting his hand on his chest to tie it.
Feeling another movement behind her, she turned around and saw that Xiao Hua got up, and smiled at Xiao Hua, just like a swordsman on the battlefield with a sword.
"you're awake?"
Xiao Huahua nodded.
Xu Zhen took a piece of cake from her arms and handed it over and asked, "Do you want to eat a cake?"
Xiaohuahua shook his head: "Do not eat."
Xu Zhen withdrew the cake and bit himself. After eating most of it, he said to Xiaohua: "I am going to Li Sanlang's house today, should you know yesterday?"
Xiao Hua said: "I know."
Xu Zhen said with a smile: "So if you go to class yourself today, I won't go with you."
Xiaohua came over and pulled her.
Xu Zhen asked: "What's wrong?"
Xiao Hua opened his mouth and said slowly: "Together."
Xu Zhen smiled and said, "You have to go to class, not together."
Xiao Hua said: "Together."
Xu Zhen wrapped the white cake again, crouched down and touched her head: "Obey, go to class, you haven't recognized all your words, just thinking about skipping class?"
Xiaohua Huawenyan seemed very disappointed and dropped his hand.
Xu Zhen secretly thought, would he be too cruel to the little girl?
However, as a teacher of the people, such things as skipping classes are certainly not allowed to happen.
She stood up, pretending not to see Xiao Hua's expression, and looked around.
Xiaohua Hua kept looking at her.
She couldn't resist, so she continued to ask, "Do you really want to go?"
Xiao Huahua nodded.
Xu Zhen felt strange: "Why? Are you unfamiliar with the school? Didn't make any friends? Or did you finish your homework yesterday? I forgot to see your homework yesterday. Do you still understand what Mr. Zhao said in the morning?"
Xiao Hua said: "Understood."
After a few steps back, she ran back to the room and ran over again, holding rice paper. Her thin white legs were looming in the skirt, like a white silk cloth, shining with a beautiful luster.
After running to Xu Zhen, she raised her hand and let Xu Zhen read the content on the rice paper.
The above is full of answers to homework, progress is very fast, there is no typo.
Xu Zhen put down the towel and hung it on the wall, took Xuan paper, looked at it, and praised, "Write it well."
Afterwards, he turned a page and wrote at the end: "The general's name is broken in a hundred battles, and Zhuang'er tears are like iron."
Now the homework still focuses on vocabulary, Xu Zhen sees that the poems are not responding and asks: "What is this?"
Xiaohua took a look at her in silence.
Xu Zhen thought about it, thinking that Li Sanlang's grandfather and father had been generals, is it related to this?
"Do you like Li Sanlang's grandfather?" Xu Zhen asked, "So you want to go to Li Sanlang's house?"
The little girl said nothing.
Xu Zhen asked another way: "Do you particularly like people like generals, so you want to see it?"
Xiao Huan yelled.
Xu Zhen said: "Then I will take you there. It's just a long way, and I don't have much money to ride in a carriage. If you're tired, just tell me, I'll hold you over." She said, whispering casually The flower was sighed in her heart. The little girl seemed to grow a lot taller and didn't know whether she was holding her or not.
Xiaohua spent a little more gratitude, looked up at Xu Zhen and said, "Thank you."
The two took things out.
In early May, there were wildflowers on the road, and a fragrance came. Xu Zhen held the hands of the little girl and shook hands. One face was expressionless, her eyes were deep, and one yawned several times in a row, very sleepy. .
Finally, I walked all the way to Li Sanlang's house.
Although Li Sanlang's family had official positions, they didn't use Zhumen. They were ordinary black wooden doors with trees planted at the door and green grass.
A servant came over to answer the door and learned that Xu Zhen was the husband of the academy. He looked at her several times and asked Xiaohua's identity.
Aberdeen carefully check all.
The servant said: "It's inconvenient to meet guests today."
Xu Zhen asked: "Why?"
The little servant said: "Lang Jun in the family has an accident and has no time to care about the guests, so it is not convenient to meet each other."
The door snapped shut.
Xu Zhen almost vomited blood.
It's inconvenient to meet guests, so why do you waste time by searching people inside and out?
Thinking of Li Sanlang not going back to school one day, he could not get the wages one day, Xu Zhen was not reconciled.
She gritted her teeth and said to Xiao Hua: "We'll go over the wall."
The two went to the backyard and found a low wall with vines.
The screamer jumped up and squatted on the low wall to pull Xu Zhen forcibly, and finally pulled Xu Zhen over.
With a thump, Xu Zhen's fell aching.
Before he could breathe, there was a mournful cry from around the inner wall.
Xu Zhen rubbed her and passed by with Xiaohua Huawen.
Walking to the door of a black-and-white grid, I heard a discussion inside.
The voice of discussion was too soft, and was soon overwhelmed by crying.
There was a gap in front of the door, and the vicissitudes of the voice came clearly, as if weeping blood.
An old Yun Lang woman miserably shouted:
"If it weren't for you to have Erlang as a general, how could he be alive!"
"Jiro, my Jiro! Ah!"
"If Erlang is really gone, I will let you die together!"
"My son, you can't die!"
"You give me Jiro, come back!!"
A cry is more severe than a cry.
The old woman's voice seemed to be mixed with sand and gravel, hoarse and unpleasant, but it could not help but be sad.
Xu Zhen couldn't bear it and was a little curious.
She turned around and asked Xiaohua: "Do you know who is crying inside?"
Xiao Huahua nodded.
Xu Zhen asked: "Who is it?"
Xiao Hua was quiet for a while, and said, "Grandma Li Sanlang, Princess Guba."
"Is this still a princess?" Xu Zhen was dumbfounded. After a short stay, she pulled the little girl to hide at the corner of the wall and asked in a low voice, "And do you even know her?"
Xiaohua Hua bowed her head and said, "It's Princess Xianbei."
"Xianbei?" Xu Zhen asked, "Is that the northern Hu people's site? I often hear people talk about Xiongnu, Capricorn and Di, but I don't hear Xianbei very much."
Xiao Hua said: "Almost no one."
Xu Zhen whispered, "Is it annihilated?"
Xiao Hua said, "No."
Xu Zhen asked: "Why?"
Xiaohua looked at Xu Zhen, her voice was dry and slow and said, "Many years ago, a Confucian student came to the highland grassland and brought a copy of The Analects of Confucius to the leader. After hearing the leader, he was very impressed. Let everyone study more in the Southland."
Xu Zhen asked: "This is a good thing, how can it lead to genocide?"
Xiaohua said, "The Xianbei woman, who came to the Southland because of her special appearance, was called Hu Ji, and she gave it to the elite."
Xu Zhen didn't expect this.
In the history she knows, there have been the phenomena of the Five Hus and Sixteen Kingdoms, but Hu Han has been struggling to communicate and get along with each other. It seems that he has never heard of such forced exclusions.
"Later?" Xu Zhen asked quietly.
"Later, Hu Ji's beauty was amazing, and the people in the south were coveted. Therefore, those who did not step out of the plateau were also stared at and taken away." Xiaohua said, "After that, Xianbei has no more women."
Xu Zhen looked at Xiao Hua and was shocked for a while, asking: "Then you... your mother, were you also caught in the Han territory?"
Xiao Hua shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Xu Zhen asked: "Did she not talk to you about it?"
Xiaohua said, "I said it, but I didn't finish it."
Xu Zhen opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say, and closed it again.
She touched the little girl's head and said dryly, "It will be fine in the future."
Xiaohua took a nod, and Xu Zhen comforted him for a while. Fearing that it was too late to get out, it would be difficult to go out, so she asked Xiaohua to sit here and wait for her, to find Li Sanlang himself.
After getting up, shaking his squat legs, he leaned against the wall and walked towards the light.
Under the shade of the tree, Xiao Hua looked at Xu Zhen's back, and her eyes gradually dimmed.
When the figure disappeared, she lowered her head, got up later, and walked to the previous door.
Through a beam of light and a crack in the door, she saw the crying princess Xianbei, and a dark, tall, mighty, handsome, and handsome man.
She looked hard, her mouth tightened gradually, her fingers pinched the wall for a while, and then she slowly loosened her eyes, lowering her eyes as if she had changed herself, and sat down against the wall again.
...
Although the Li family is not an official residence, it has a great career and a small house in Jiangling.
After searching for a long time, Xu Zhen finally found Li Sanlang in a dry and dusty hut.
She walked over and asked, "Li Sanlang?"
Li Sanlang sat with his knees buried, his head buried in his knees, his hair untied and draped, and he ignored the sound after hearing the sound and still sat on the ground.
Xu Zhen asked again: "Li Sanlang? What's wrong with you, are you okay?"
Li Sanlang squatted on the ground.
Xu Zhen ripped the branch behind him back to Li Sanlang and said, "I'm here to blame, so you should go back to class."
Li Sanlang raised his hand, slapped Xu Zhen with a slap, and scolded: "Are you bothered!"
He showed his face, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked like he had just cried. His tears and saliva had not been wiped clean, making his sleeves wet.
Xu Zhen asked: "Why are you crying?"
Li Sanlang buried his head in his knees again, his arms covering his ears, and said dullly, "Go!"
Xu Zhen said shamelessly: "I don't leave, don't be embarrassed, we are the husbands who are preaching and disturbing the profession. If you have any difficulties or troubles, just tell me, just to help you out, you remember to go back Class."
After Xu Zhen finished speaking, he thought of one more thing, adding, "Oh, yes, remember, go to Shanchang to say my good things and raise my salary."
Li Sanlang didn't pay attention at first, and then came to see that Xu Zhenshi was too good to speak, and stood up and scolded: "You have never finished?!"
Xu Zhen asked: "Why are you so irritable?"
Li Sanlang scolded: "Do you want to take care of it?! What can you do? Can you help me get my brother back! You are a teacher, what can you do?"
He was so desperate that he wanted to kick Xu Zhen, but Xu Zhen avoided him.
Xu Zhen thought of the crying just now, and immediately understood what Li Sanlang was crying.
She asked, "Your brother is gone?"
Li Sanlang was not angry, and he said, "Yes."
Xu Zhen asked: "How did it go missing? Where? Wolf Valley Pass?"
Li Sanlang froze: "How do you know?"
Xu Zhen said: "I just saw your grandmother crying, and a map was spread on the table, with the words Wolf Valley Pass written on it."
Li Sanlang said "Qi" and no longer hoped for Xu Zhen.
Xu Zhen asked: "How long has your brother been missing?"
Li Sanlang said coldly: "Five days."
Xu Zhen asked: "Did you leave any news?"
Li Sanlang looked up at Xu Zhen, disdainful, gritted his teeth and said, "Stay."
"What news?" Xu Zhen asked, "Can your grandfather and grandmother know?"
"I know." Li Sanlang finished speaking, and couldn't help but scold, "Why should I tell you! What are you counting!"
Xu Zhen looked upset and turned to leave.
But first of all, I turned to the merit points of doing good things, and then the salary given by Shan Chang.
In the end, I could only endure it and explained: "I know more than you. Maybe I guessed the news left by your brother?"
Li Sanlang had never seen such a cheeky face, and his blood suddenly turned up.
Afterwards, I didn't know what I thought of. I just suppressed my pain and said what was left by Brother A.
"Before, my brother and friend went to Langguguan to find a bird and a branch... tied together with trees and vines, and the tied knot is unique to the clan, it should be the brother who dropped it on the ground."
Xu Zhen asked: "Birds and branches?"
Li Sanlang said that he had shed tears and wiped his tears and said, "Yes."
Xu Zhen asked: "When it comes to birds and branches, what can you think of?"
Li Sanlang shook his head and said, "If I, if I think of it, I will go straight to save my brother!"
Xu Zhen paced to sit opposite Li Sanlang, picked a good position and sat down, said: "Relax, your brother is all right, no need to save."
Li Sanlang’s crying was not adult-like, and his tone softened a little: "You, you comfort me at this time, it is useless, my brother---
Xu Zhen said, "You don't believe me?"
Li Sanlang continued to cry.
"That's because you have less reading." Xu Zhen slowly said, "I will help you understand this time, you may have to study well in the future, otherwise you will cry when you encounter this kind of thing, and your brother will come back and laugh. ."
Li Sanlang's cry came to a halt, and quickly rushed over and asked, "What do you mean?"
Xu Zhen explained directly: "Speaking of birds and trees, you should think of Zhuang Zhou at your age."
Li Sanlang was stunned: "Zhuang Zhou? Why?"
"Because Zhuangzi particularly likes to write about birds and trees." Xu Zhen gave a few examples, "For example, there are big birds in the south, sleeping and sleeping sycamore, or Kunpeng can fly 90,000 miles in one flight, or if the chicken does not crow, just Will be killed, but the tree is useless, will not be cut..."
Li Sanlang hurriedly asked: "Don't give an example! What does this have to do with my brother?"
Xu Zhen said: "There are naturally. When you talk about Zhuang Zhou, you should think of him as a Taoist and advocate doing nothing."
Li Sanlang said: "This, I know this!"
Xu Zhen nodded and summed up: "So your brother-in-law means, let you do nothing."
"Don't do it? How is this possible?! You Mr. Strawbag!" Li Sanlang jumped away, completely unbelieving, "You just have nothing to do with yourself, want to kill my brother!"
Xu Zhen said: "You believe it or not, I guess, your brother should have used art of war."
"Art of War?" Li Sanlang didn't understand.
Xu Zhen said: "According to the history, Sima Yi bombed Cao Shuang and Yang Xingmi bluffed and cheated. Your brother may be killed and ready to hit people."
Li Sanlang hadn’t heard any of them, and he was dumbfounded for a long time. He could only ask again if he was unsure: "My brother is really okay?"
Xu Zhen said: "Really."
Li Sanlang stood there for a while, and finally said: "I, I don't believe you, you Mr. Caobao, I'm going to ask my grandfather."
After that, the wind ran away like the wind.
Xu Zhen sat in the house for a while, there was no window in the house, only the light from the wall cracked through. She felt sultry and went out.
When I walked to the door, I saw Xiao Hua, who was standing under the tree, talking to someone.
The person in conversation was blocked behind the tree, Xu Zhen could not see clearly, worried that the child was being trafficked, and ran over quickly.
However, after walking over, he found no one under the tree.
Xu Zhen looked around and asked, "Who did you just chat with?"
Xiaohua looked up at her.
Xu Zhen also looked at her.
After a while, Xiaohua said, "No."
Xu Zhen thought she was wrong, touched her chin and doubted herself for a while, and quickly rejuvenated.
She said to Xiaohua: "I've got Li Sanlang done, we can go back."
Xiao Huahua nodded.
Xu Zhen took her hand and walked to the low wall.
Walking around, thinking of Li Sanlang's stupidity, he couldn't help telling him, "You can only miss school for such a day, and you must study hard in the future.
Xiao Hua said: "No."
Xu Zhen was uneasy, and said, "Let's go back, I will teach you to recognize the characters again. Your Chinese is not good enough."
Xiao Hua took a pause.
Xu Zhen looked back, saw her still, smiled and said, "But progress is fast, don't be discouraged."
Xiaohua looked at Xu Zhen's smile, and finally turned slowly over her head.
Dare not look directly.
She went to see other things, to see the flying leaves in the distance, to see the flying birds, and to see the sky and the wind.
All she saw was very beautiful.
This is especially true of the person in front of him. This person named Xu Zhen seems to be able to cover the sky with the breeze.
Give her a hot bed and accompany her to read at night.
This person's heart is soft and always cares for others.
Unlike himself, Tian Gui Gui Gui, heart like ice iron.
She was dirty and unworthy of standing by this man.
Only give everything he has and give his life. May this man be happy and happy.
She presented her own sword and her own life.
What I want to change is just this person's smile.
If you are really just a beggar, how good it is.
She clenched Xu Zhen's hand tightly without saying a word, and finally lowered her head, unable to bear the pantothenic acid in her eyes, and was unwilling in her heart.
