After a few years, the beacon fire gradually extinguished, and Chang'an was far away.
Deep in the Mang Mountain, there is a green valley with clouds and a clear stream gurgling out of the valley. More than a dozen thatched huts were built holding water. The smoke from the kitchen swayed among the roofs of the huts, rose slowly, and soon dissipated in the shadow of the trees on the mountain.
The stream is green and green, and there are hundreds of grasses. Yang Zhaoxi is wearing a large and worn fine linen robe, sitting on a bluestone by the stream, playing with Guan Hu'er, Guan Lin'er and other friends in a grass fight. Each time he wins one
On the scene, Yang Zhaoxi took a grass bead from his partner as a lottery ticket. The broken dragon and foxtail... were thrown aside in pieces.
Unconsciously, it was noon. The children who were fighting grass dispersed in a hurry and went home. Yang Zhaoxi wrapped the grass beads he won in his front skirt, exposed his navel, and walked towards a hut with one step at a time.
The surrounding area was surrounded by branches, which served as a courtyard wall. The wood door was open, and Yang Zhaoxi ran in with a "hum hum hum": "Mom——! I won this all, look!"
Lu Qiuniang, who was wearing a Jingchai cloth skirt, turned around and said, "Xi'er is so awesome! Give some to my mother, and I'll cook barley porridge for you tonight."
Yang Zhaoxi held her front with one clay hand, and quickly grabbed the grass beads from her arms with the other clay hand, and put them one by one into Lu Qiuniang's big rough hands, grabbing them while shouting: "Mom!
I’ll give you 90%, and keep the rest as capital to win against them in the afternoon!”
Lu Qiuniang turned around and poured the grass beads into an empty gourd gourd, and lovingly rubbed Yang Zhaoxi's messed up hair: "Hurry up and wash your hands!" The mother and son ate on the wooden table in the hall, and Lu Qiuniang cleaned up the bowls.
Chopsticks, but gradually became serious, "Xi'er, I heard from Guan Shibo that this morning, you, Guan Hu'er, and Niu Pang'er didn't go to the school ground to stand up. Is that right?"
Yang Zhaoxi had finished her meal and was wiping the rice grains around her mouth. Suddenly she heard her mother say this and knowing that the matter was exposed, she quickly slid down from the bench and prepared to run away. However, she was grabbed by Lu Qiuniang unexpectedly.
The ear was in severe pain and he quickly quibbled: "We went early, Guan Shibo hasn't gotten up yet! We stood there for a while before going to play... Oops -! Mom, let go! The ear is about to fall off!"
"
Lu Qiuniang let go of his ear, but blocked the door in a flash: "You bastard! How dare you lie to your mother. Your uncle Guan came here right away and said that only the three of you didn't go to the morning practice. What else do you have to say?
?" As he spoke, his eyes turned red and tears fell, "If your father were still here, I would definitely break your legs!"
Yang Chaoxi knew that she couldn't get through, and seeing her mother sad, she quickly relented and said: "Mother——! Xi'er knows her mistake! I promise not to run around tomorrow, and learn martial arts from Guan Shibo!" Seeing Lu Qiuniang's expression softened slightly,
He returned to his old ways and started bargaining, "It's just that 'standing' is so boring! Our legs are cramping when we stand... Guan Shibo knows so many fists, feet and weapons, wouldn't it be better to teach them to us directly?
!”
After hearing this, Lu Qiuniang suddenly raised her hand and lightly shuddered on Yang Zhaoxi's forehead: "Don't say 'I' in the future! You, Guan Shibo, know the best in kung fu and boxing. He taught you this way."
That’s the truth! You brat, you haven’t learned fisting and kicking for a few days, but you’re already a master!”
"I know, I know! Mom, I'm going to find Guan Hu'er, Niu Pang'er and the others to play..." But it was Yang Chaoxi who caught Lu Qiuniang off guard and got out of the gap vacated by her side.
As they got further and further away, they actually ran out of the yard. Lu Qiuniang could only laugh and curse, "Loach boy! You're so slippery!" and went off to collect mulberries by herself.
Yang Zhaoxi ran out of the firewood courtyard in a hurry. The chirping of cicadas and birds chirped over and over again, stimulating the joyful nerves in his heart. Guan Hu'er and Niu Pang'er had already been waiting on the bluestone where they were fighting grass in the morning.
, Yang Zhaoxi ran over, and the two of them didn't complain much. But a little girl suddenly came out from behind Guan Hu'er, and it was his sister Guan Lin'er. According to the elders in the village, this Guan Lin'er is Guan Shibo's brother.
When I went to Luoyang City a few years ago, I picked it up from the street. It is now more than four years old.
Yang Chaoxi felt slightly unhappy: "Guan Hu'er, why did you bring her here? Can she fight with grass? What will happen if you lose?" After saying this, he crossed his arms and seemed to be determined not to give up until he made it clear.
After all, Guan Huer was older. He smiled and patted Yang Zhaoxi's head with his hand: "What are you talking about! If you lose, it's all on me. How have you ever blamed me? My father went hunting in the back mountains.
, let me take care of Lin'er."
Guan Lin'er next to him was also well-behaved and sensible, and he said calmly: "Brother Xi, just... just take Lin'er with you! Lin'er promises... I promise to be obedient." Yang Chaoxi heard the little girl say soft words, and his ears went numb.
The stool also softened.
At this time, Niu Pang'er interjected: "We won't fight grass in the afternoon. Let's catch crabs and small fish. I like cooking crabs the most!" After saying this, he took out a few small bamboo baskets from behind, feeling very proud.
Showing off to a few people, "My mother made it up! Isn't it awesome?" Yang Zhaoxi immediately became interested and immediately went over to pick one up. She looked left and right and couldn't put it down. Guan Hu'er and Guan Lin'er also came over after hearing this.
, looking at it without even blinking. Then a few people divided the small bamboo baskets, and walked upstream of the stream while talking and laughing.
When they reached a stream with slow water flow and lots of stones, Yang Zhaoxi suddenly shouted: "We're here! There are the most crabs here." Then he explained in a good way, "Did you see? Xiao Lin'er, there is a secret to catching crabs! You
You must first check which stones in the stream are movable and which ones grow in the mud. Only movable stones will have crabs. Then the movable stones must be large enough. Crabs generally do not hide under small stones. Then find them.
A stone of about the same size. Slowly lift the stone with one hand and put it aside gently - remember not to bring up the mud under the stone to prevent the water from being mixed up and the crabs escaping. And if there is a crab just under the stone mark,
, the other hand must immediately reach in and hold the crab shell firmly. Then stretch out your fingers one by one, pinch both sides of the crab shell, fish it out, and throw it into this bamboo basket..."
Guan Hu'er and Niu Pang'er looked bored, as if to say, "Who doesn't know it yet? You need to teach me." Guan Lin'er, however, looked confused when he heard this: "Xi...Brother Xi, Lin'er
I don’t understand...and I don’t dare to catch it. Lin’er can just watch you catch it.”
Yang Zhaoxi seemed to have punched nothing, and touched his nose awkwardly: "Then let's start! Let's see who can catch the most today!" Guan Huer and Niu Pang'er stopped talking nonsense, took off their shoes, hugged their lower skirts and
He took off his clothes and waded into the stream. Guan Lin'er sat by the stream and watched the three of them catching crabs with great interest.
After catching for almost an hour, the scorching sun in front of them got even hotter, and the harvest was quite fruitful. Yang Zhaoxi felt that her waist was a little sore, so she straightened up and prepared to stretch her body. However, she saw that little girl Guan Lin'er was getting ready.
I lowered my hakama and squatted there to urinate. The urine flowed down the river and was drifting this way, and I suddenly felt very angry.
At this time, Niu Pang'er happened to come over and bumped into Yang Zhaoxi. When he looked up, he also noticed Guan Lin'er's small movements. But he was unable to dodge, and the stream carrying urine passed under his feet, and he was also covered with water.
Mingye's fire rushed up from his heart. He immediately reached into the stream at his feet, fished out a pebble, and threw it into the stream in front of Guan Lin'er, shocking the little girl.
When Yang Zhaoxi saw him like this, she was also mischievous. Another pebble was thrown in front of Guan Lin'er, splashing water all over her head. At this time, the little girl was already adjusting her skirt. She was startled by this second blow and her feet
She slipped and fell into the stream. The stream was clear and shallow, and the little girl fluttered a few times in panic, then sat up in the stream, with most of her body exposed out of the water. However, after several consecutive changes, the little girl could no longer stretch her legs.
Stop, look up to the sky and cry loudly.
When Guan Hu'er heard the cry, she ran over in a few steps, picked up Guan Lin'er, and put her back on the shore. Then she unloaded the bamboo basket and used crabs to attract the little girl's attention. After coaxing her for a while, she finally settled down.
He turned around with a face, picked up two pebbles from the water, and threw them at Yang Zhaoxi and Niu Pang'er. Guan Hu'er was a little older after all, and his accuracy was pretty good. One of them hit Niu Pang'er's shoulder, and the other hit Niu Pang'er.
On Yang Chaoxi's legs, it was the result of him dodging.
The two men did not show weakness. They first fled to the other side of the stream and put the bamboo baskets on the bank. Then they jumped into the stream, picked up the pebbles, and threw them at each other. The three of them were fighting fiercely, but Guan Dashi stopped.
He was leading a group of soldiers to train and return from hunting. When he saw this scene, he was angry and laughed. He handed over the prey to a person and asked everyone to go back to the villa first. He and Niu Chong stayed behind.
Guan Dashi rushed over first, lifted Guan Hu'er up, and threw him on the bank. Niu Chong also rushed into the stream, held the Niu Pang'er under the creaking nest, and threw it next to Guan Hu'er. Seeing that Yang Chaoxi actually
He was still picking up pebbles and threw them towards Guan Dashi. He laughed angrily and without saying much, he picked them up and brought them to Guan Dashi.
Guan Dashi looked at the three drowned children and said with a serious face: "Three bastards have grown up! They practiced running away in the morning, and I haven't even bothered to clean up! Now they come here to fight again. Guan Hu'er!
Tell me, what's going on!" Guan Hu'er didn't dare to talk nonsense, and told what happened in detail. Guan Dashi lost some of his anger and teased, "You three bastards are...
You are capable, and you have learned to throw 'locust stones' on your own. However, using force and being accurate is not the same! Today I am happy, so I will simply 'instruct' you!"
After Guan Dashi finished speaking, he asked Niu Chong to pick some leaves from the side, and together they inserted the leaves into three targets of similar size on a slope twenty steps away from the river bank. Then he turned around and said, "You guys
Three bastards, all go into the water! Each one has a target and shoot according to it! When will all the leaves be knocked down, when will you be allowed to go back! Supervisor Niu Chong!" After saying that, he hugged Guan Lin'er and was about to go back.
Go to the villa.
Guan Huer was very unconvinced: "Dad! They started the incident first, why should they punish me!"
Guan Dashi stopped and said, "I asked you to take care of my sister! Have you taken care of me? You still have the nerve to complain!" After saying that, he left without looking back.
Niu Chong also became serious at this time and shouted: "Listen to the order! Get into the water! Throw!" The three of them could not resist, so they had no choice but to get into the stream again, and each threw stones at the target in the distance...
Although the summer is long, the sunset finally sets and hangs over the mountains to the west. Lu Qiuniang is cooking in the kitchen, but she sees Yang Zhaoxi soaked all over, with her head lowered and her mouth pursed, holding a hand in anger.
The little bamboo basket came in.
Lu Qiuniang found it interesting, but she was more confused, so she went over and touched his wet head: "What's wrong with Xi'er? Tell me about it." Yang Zhaoxi seemed to have been greatly wronged and cried "Wow"
Getting up, Lu Qiuniang coaxed her for a long time before she stopped.
Yang Zhaoxi sniffled and then slowly said: "This afternoon, Guan Shibo punished us..."
