Magpie chuckled, "...it's always a good thing that Brother Wen and Brother Wu like him."

"What's good?" Zhen Shiniang rolled her eyes at her and changed the subject, "You can live here with Qiu Ju for now. Qiu Ju has never served anyone before. Once he wakes up in the middle of the night and calls for someone, it's safer for you to stay here. .”

"This slave has already told Chang He that he will stay here tonight."

After chatting for a while, after listening to Shen Zhongqing enter the east room after washing, Zhen Shiniang quietly went out.

Qiu Ju was playing a lattice game with Jian Wen and Jian Wu on the ground with pebbles. When she saw Zhen Shiniang coming in with a quilt in her arms, she hurriedly got up and took it, "...No wonder this servant feels familiar when he sees the general today. It turns out he is... ..." Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Zhen Shiniang. She looked at Jian Wen and Jian Wu with a smile, "What are you doing, Brother Wen and Brother Wu?"

"Mother, mother!" He didn't pay attention to what Qiu Ju almost blurted out just now. When he saw Zhen Shiniang, Jian Wu and Jian Wen jumped over to her, "We are playing with suffocating the cow!" Jian Wu said, "...I just killed my brother. I’m so suffocated!”

After hearing what Tong Yan Wuji said, Zhen Shiniang couldn't laugh or cry, so she corrected her, "It was you who suffocated my brother's 'cow' to death."

To kill the cow, draw a word "District" on the ground to make a chessboard, and then draw a circle between the two corners on the right side of the word "District" to make a well. When playing chess, you must not cross this "well". Each side holds two pieces. The stone is called "cow".

There are a total of five intersection points on the chessboard, and the chess pieces occupy four of them, so each person can only move one position at a time, and they must fall on the intersection point. It looks simple, but it takes a lot of brains to actually move. The goal is to capture the opponent's pieces, but to "suffocate" the opponent to win. During the process of two people taking turns playing chess, when one side is blocked by all the other side's pieces, then the desperate side loses.

These are all games that Zhen Shiniang played in her previous life, including backgammon. Although simple, they help develop children's intelligence, so she plays with Jian Wu and Jian Wen when she has nothing to do.

After listening to Zhen Shiniang's words, Jian Wu stuck out his tongue at Jian Wen and shouted, "I won six games!"

"I won four games!" Jian Wen didn't show any weakness.

She actually played ten games. It seemed that the two children had been waiting for her for a long time and didn't even yell to go to the front room. It was really hard for them. Zhen Shiniang rubbed the hair of the two little guys and said, "You are so awesome!" The topic changed, "Why don't you listen to your mother and live in Aunt Magpie's house?"

Jian Wu and Jian Wen giggled, "...We want to hear from my mother about Sun Wukong beating the White Bone Demon three times!" He asked, "I wonder if Tang Monk was cooked and eaten?"

Unlike modern times, where computers, the Internet, movies, games, etc. are all available, there was almost no entertainment in ancient times. When they couldn't sleep during the long nights, Zhen Shiniang often told them stories. She told them all the short fairy tales in her memory. These days He began to tell a long story about Journey to the West, a short paragraph every day, and made up the parts he couldn't remember. The two little guys became addicted to it.

"Do you really want to know if Tang Monk was cooked and eaten?" Zhen Shiniang asked with a smile.

Jian Wen and Jian Wu nodded vigorously.

"Then it's agreed that you have to hide at Aunt Magpie's house tomorrow morning." Zhen Shiniang took advantage of the situation and said.

"Don't worry, mother, we have made an agreement with my uncle. He will pick us up at the back corner gate early tomorrow morning." Zhen Shiniang has never threatened people, and she said it so solemnly today. Jian Wu and Jian Wen felt particularly scared. Separated from mother.

"Well..." Zhen Shiniang nodded and turned around to tell Qiu Ju, who was laying out the quilt, "Go back."

"This slave will wait for Brother Wen and Brother Wu to wash up first..."

"No need." Zhen Shiniang shook her head, "...Magpie has left the door open for you."

Qiu Ju responded, said good night to Jian Wu and Jianwen, and turned around to go to the front room.

After washing up, she took off the clothes of the two little ones and got into bed. Zhen Shiniang was about to continue yesterday's story when she remembered something. Jian Wen asked in hindsight, "Mom, who is that person? Why did you take us with you?" Walk?"

"Aunt Magpie said he was a general who killed without blinking an eye?" Jian Wu also blinked, "...is it true?" He puffed up his chest again, "He looks like me, and I will definitely be as majestic in the future!" Magpie Qiuju was afraid of Shen Zhongqing's evil spirit, but Jian Wu admired him especially.

It's up to you to just let him.

Poof, Zhen Shiniang coughed violently.

"Mom!" Jian Wu's face turned red.

"Okay, Brother Wu will be even more majestic than him in the future." Zhen Shiniang calmed down and said with a smile, "Well..." She coughed lightly, "Where did you talk about yesterday?"

"Preach..." As soon as Jian Wu opened his mouth, Jian Wen snatched him away, "Mom, who is he and why does he want to live in our house?!"

"This..." I wanted to make a joke and get away with it, but unexpectedly Jian Wen hadn't forgotten this. Zhen Shiniang's voice faltered, "He... ah..." After thinking about it, "It's your grandmother." "My son." It's just a roundabout way, and it's not a lie. "They are all relatives at home, so they naturally want to live in our house."

Zhen Shiniang was very proud of her sudden wisdom.

Jian Wu and Jian Wen were dumbfounded.

"...Grandma's son?" Jian Wu Jianwen, look at me and I look at you.

"I know, it's uncle!" Jian Wen reacted first and sat up from the bed.

"It's uncle!" Jian Wu, not to be outdone, pulled him down and argued, "He is younger than Gouzi's father and so good-looking, how can he be uncle?"

Mom said that my uncle is my father's brother, so naturally he is old and ugly.

"It's the uncle!" Jian Wen said not to be outdone, "He's still a general, how could he be the uncle!"

My uncle is my father's younger brother. How can he be a general at such a young age?

"It's uncle!"

"It's uncle!"

…

In the blink of an eye, the two little guys were kicking each other under the quilt.

Zhen Shiniang shook her head helplessly, raised her face and said, "Do you want to hear about three dozen white-bone demons?"

"Think!" Jian Wu Jian Wu replied in unison.

Seeing that their mother was keeping her face straight and silent, the two of them hurriedly lay down and looked at her eagerly.

"Speaking of which, Sun Wukong transformed into the Great Immortal Golden Toad and came to Boyue Cave for the banquet..." Seeing that they had stopped making trouble, Zhen Shiniang nodded with satisfaction, dimmed the oil lamp, and started talking eloquently.

…

After a good night's sleep, Shen Zhongqing opened his eyes. It was already bright. He looked at the clepsydra and saw that it was already four o'clock in the morning. He sat up and shook his head with a smile, "I haven't slept on this hot kang for a long time, but I have slept on it today." Head." He has been leading troops all year round, and he has long developed the habit of getting up at Mao hour.

"General, wake up." Rong Sheng came in with a basin of water.

"Where are they?" Shen Zhongqing asked, not hearing the silence outside.

"Qiu Ju went up the mountain early in the morning, and the magpie and grandma were picking vegetables in the backyard..." Rong Sheng put down the water basin, took off his shoes and got on the kang, pulled up the curtains, opened the back window, lowered his head, and let out a sigh, "The general actually built this Did you sleep on the quilt all night?" He touched it with his hand and found it was hard. He raised his head and looked at Shen Zhongqing in disbelief.

Without words, Shen Zhongqing raised his head and looked towards the backyard.

Outside the window was a cluster of low cherry trees. It was late autumn, and the cherries had already fallen off the shelves. Only the withered yellow leaves of one tree were left swaying in the gentle morning breeze. In his memory, the rear window was extremely open, and he would lie down by the window every morning. You can see the row of houses behind, and you can also vaguely see the pond behind the house. Now, sitting in this house is really short-sighted.

Shen Zhongqing secretly said it was a pity, put on his shoes and got off the ground. After washing, he heard voices in the front yard, so he opened the window and looked out, and his face suddenly turned black.

I saw Zhen Shiniang standing at the entrance of the courtyard talking to a tall man.

The joy in that voice was something he had never heard before.
