Chapter 22 The Hunter's Hut

The fall and bruising medicine used by Fang Cuilan was indeed effective. On the second day, Zhu Xiu's feet were basically cured, and there was no plan to strengthen his body. He ran to the village school on his back with a small book basket.

After the morning class was over, Tao Sheng was shocked when he watched Zhu Xiu say hello to the servant of the Ge family and was allowed to enter Ge Lao's private house with his own eyes.

Last night, Mr. Ge had already left the school and returned to the county town. When Mr. Ge was not around, the Ge family servants would never allow outsiders to enter the private house except Liu Da.

Although it is separated by a wall, it is a forbidden place in the minds of students.

Tao Sheng ran to Liu Da angrily to question him, but Liu Da did not hide it and told him yesterday's decision.

Three words popped out from Tao Sheng's teeth, burning in jealousy: "Why?"

Liu Da was also very unhappy by Tao Sheng's bad attitude. Due to the Tao family's face, he did not care too much about him. He just said indifferently that this was an additional reward from Mr. Ge to Zhu Xiu. If he had any objections, he could ask in person after Mr. Ge came back a few days later.

The lost Tao Sheng dragged his weak legs and feet back to his own bedroom.

In the past, he was the one with the best grades in the village school and the most hope to get into the county school. Ge Lide and Liu Da were extremely accommodating to him, and the best resources in the school were concentrated on him.

Now, Zhu Xiu has emerged in a new era, and his academic performance has jumped to the forefront. The dazzling light has attracted all the attention of Ge Lide and Liu Da in an instant.

Tao Sheng knew that he was no longer the most unique person in the village school, but this huge gap made him unacceptable for a while.

Three days later, Liu Da roughly introduced the enrollment of county schools this year, and Zhu Xiu also formally requested to leave school and study for self-study.

Liu Da agreed readily, but asked Zhu Xiu to come back before the end of the month to receive a separate test from Mr. Ge.

After the meal, Zhu Xiuxin left the village school with a book basket with satisfaction, stood by the dirt road back to Taozhu Village in Shuikou Village, and was a little hesitant. She didn't know where to stay and passed the life, and she was secretly worried.

It is definitely not possible to go home, and Fang Cuilan has not been told about this yet.

In my mother's opinion, the behavior of studying in the village school that cannot be obediently is nonsense, and Zhu Xiu will not make it boring.

"Huh? Zhu Xiu, why did you come out so early?"

Wang Zhu's crisp voice sounded behind him, and Zhu Xiu turned around and said helplessly: "Everyone said my feet are fine, you don't have to come and wait for me every day."

Wang Zhu's slightly dark face seemed to blush, she glanced at him and said, "I'm not waiting for you! I came to Shuikou Village to visit the market and just met you, an annoying person! Humph~"

Zhu Xiubao looked contemptuous and curled his lips without saying anything. He had been to a country market for four or five days and had not been to visit enough. This excuse was really bad.

Wang Zhu seemed to hear Zhu Xiu's heart whisper, and couldn't help but be furious. He clenched his fist and was about to step on Zhu Xiu's feet. When he saw Zhu Xiu hugging his feet in horror, he hesitated and put away his posture with a little guilty conscience.

Well, it’s not too late to teach a lesson when this annoying ghost injury is better. If the old wound has not healed and new injuries are added, it’s a pity to think about it~ Wang Zhu silently comforted himself in his heart.

Zhu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and moved away without leaving any traces to the side, not daring to stand with this violent little girl anymore.

"I carry the book basket for you, otherwise others will think I will bully you!" Wang Zhu stretched out his little hand and said crisply.

Zhu Xiu shook his head quickly, "It's still early, so don't hurry back to the village. I want to find a quiet place without interruption and read and write something. I just don't know where to go..."

Wang Zhu's round eyes gradually widened and she exclaimed: "It turns out that you escaped from the school! Let Aunt Fang know that you have to break your legs!"

Zhu Xiu rolled his eyes and spread his hands and explained, "It's not that I've escaped. I've asked Mr. Ge and Master Liu for leave, and they all agreed. I'm called self-study after leaving school, which means self-cultivation. Do you understand?"

Wang Zhu was stunned, not knowing whether she understood. Zhu Xiu thought about it and whispered: "You must keep this matter secret for me, don't let my mother know!"

Wang Zhu looked at him with his lips pursed, and suddenly smiled with eyebrows and said with a slight sly voice: "Yes, but you have to promise me something too!"

Zhu Xiu was afraid that her lion would speak loudly, so she said vigilantly: "Tell me first!"

Zhu Xiu's expression was so angry that Wang Zhuya itched with anger. She stomped her feet and shouted angrily: "It's just that you are asking me to learn to read, what are you afraid of?"

"Do you want to read?" Zhu Xiu blinked, breathed a sigh of relief, and his chest slapped, "I'll say it earlier! A small matter is all about me!"

Seeing that Zhu Xiu agreed to be quite refreshed, Wang Zhu calmed down and gave him a blank look and waved: "Follow me, I know a place to keep you satisfied!"

Zhu Xiu hesitated for a while. He had no place to go anyway, so he nodded and followed Wang Zhu back to Taozhu Village with suspicion.

When I arrived at the entrance of the village, I didn’t enter the village. I walked around the ridge of the field to the back of the village, walked through a forest path, and entered the Daqing Mountain behind the village.

The air in the mountains is humid, and after spring comes, you will see a lush and lively scene. Walking in it, you will feel relaxed and pleasant as a youth outing.

Wang Zhu, who entered the forest, ran quickly by the dense forest stream like a carefree little tit.

Zhu Xiu stepped on the slippery stones covered with moss in the gurgling stream, so he was cautiously afraid of falling into the water. Wang Zhu was walking on the ground and jumped back and forth several times, but Zhu Xiu was trapped in the center of the stream, shaking her body violently and unable to move forward and backward.

In desperation, Zhu Xiu had to seek help from Wang Zhu bitterly. After being ridiculed and ridiculed by the little girl, he held her hand and flowed through the stream tremblingly.

Zhu Xiu didn't notice that when he grabbed Wang Zhu's somewhat rough little hand, the little girl's slightly black face turned red and the smile on the corner of her mouth was full of sweetness.

Upstream of the stream, there is an open and flat bamboo forest halfway up the mountain, with a thatched hut covering the roof and bamboo-framed huts built in it.

Zhu Xiu was overjoyed and circled around the hut several times. This quiet and deep mountain hut completely satisfied his imagination of ancient hermits. He did not expect that there was such a good place on the Daqing Mountain behind Taozhu Village.

"This place was originally a deserted hunter's hut. When my father went into the mountains to hunt, he found that repairs were still useful. Sometimes there was no capture in the day, so my father would temporarily settle here. From here, we went north to the barren mountains and wilderness. Only hunters as powerful as my father dared to walk inside!"

Wang Zhu said proudly, and pushed open the wooden door. Zhu Xiu poked his head and looked inside. He was about twenty square meters and had a single bed, a straw tumbling and a rope bed. On the wall where mud and hay were mixed, a hunting bow was hung.

There was a lot of dust falling in the house, and it seemed that no one had come for a while.

"The wild animals nearby have been driven to the north by my father. I have worked a lot in the fields these months, and he has no time to enter the mountains. You can stay here with peace of mind."

Zhu Xiu nodded and was deeply satisfied with the environment of the cottage.

Put down the book basket, roll up the cuffs, and clean the inside and outside with Wang Zhu.

The kneeling table was too short and Zhu Xiu was not used to sitting, so he used the rope bed as a table, sat on the grass pier, spreading his pen and ink.

Wang Zhu sat kneeling behind the desk, with a few pieces of straw paper and a pen in front of him. His slightly dark face looked a little nervous, and his waist was involuntarily straightened.

Zhu Xiu laughed in his heart. We are not as good as you when we cross mountains and rivers. Reading and writing are our strengths, and we must not find the place back.

Clearing his throat, Zhu Xiu said seriously: "Tell me what elementary school books you have read?"

Wang Zhu was a little restless and said weakly as if she was not confident: "...Dad has only taught us to read "Thousand Characters"..."

The Thousand Characters Writings written during the reign of Emperor Wu of Liang is the most widely circulated elementary school reading material in the world. Zhu Xiu nodded and asked, "Have you finished it?"

Wang Zhu shook his head embarrassedly.

"How much have you studied? Half of it?" Zhu Xiu asked calmly.

Wang Zhu whispered: "I have only learned...a little bit..."

When Zhu Xiu saw her lowered her head ashamed, her face was dark and red, which was very interesting.

But thinking about Wang Luwu, a man who licked blood from the knife, did he have the patience to teach his brother and sister to read and recognize words. It is understandable that the progress is slower.

Zhu Xiu pondered for a moment and said that Wang Zhu’s foundation is equivalent to Wu. Although the Thousand Characters are good, the words and sentences in them are not easy for scholars.

"Let me do this, I will write a simple and easy-to-understand elementary school reading for you, and you will learn from now on!"

Zhu Xiu pondered the ink well, took the pen and dipped it. After a moment of contemplation, he buried his head and started to write quickly.

"A man's nature is good at the beginning. His nature is similar, and his habits are different..."

Wang Zhu looked over curiously and could see some characters intermittently. Judging from the font strokes and structure alone, it was indeed much simpler than "Thousand Characters Text".

Zhu Xiu ignored the original "Three Character Classic", in which Emperor Gaozu of Tang, rebelled and established the Constitution, and established the Republic of China, and omitted the subsequent paragraphs of characters involved after the Middle Tang Dynasty, and deleted and reduced the details to piece together a "Three Character Classic" suitable for the Wuzhou Dynasty version.

"This article is called "Three Character Classic". It not only makes you catchy, but also contains human ethics and principles and some historical and humanistic philosophy, which is easy to recognize words and is very suitable for beginners like you..."

Zhu Xiu was nagging about introducing this elementary school book that was released hundreds of years in advance, but he didn't notice that Wang Zhu looked at the pages of paper full of words in a daze.

"The words he wrote are so beautiful... He is so powerful. He can write so many words in one breath..." The little girl's head buzzed. When she thought that this was written by Zhu Xiu for her, she felt a sense of happiness in her heart.

"Hey, hey? Why are you in a daze? Have you heard what I said clearly?"

When Zhu Xiu saw Wang Zhu laughing foolishly, he stared at her with dissatisfaction on the face of knocking on the Chouji.

Wang Zhu came to his senses and his shame became stronger. Fortunately, his skin was darker and he couldn't see it. He hurriedly sat upright and nodded vigorously.
