Master approached Chen Nong alone.
"I remember that you liked to read extracurricular books when you were a child."
Chen Nong never expected that at today's age, he would be in the embarrassing situation of being publicly executed.
He was extremely embarrassed, but he could not get angry at his enlightenment teacher, so he had to lower his head and remain silent.
The Master said: "I have an important responsibility, you can try it."
A piece of origami was put into Chen Nong's hand, and the Master patted his shoulder, "This is an opportunity."
< br>Chen Nong didn’t understand, but still leaned over to thank him.
Back home.
Chen Nong first took his daughter to visit his wife who was ill in bed.
Seeing his wife crying with joy, but looking more energetic than in the morning, he was also happy, so he left the space for mother and daughter, and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine he bought.
While making the medicine, he remembered the request from the waiter at the drug store. Chen Nong slapped his head. He could not be a person who broke his word. What's more, it wasn't the waiter who invited him to visit Si Ye Mansion. With his skeptical attitude towards Si Ye Mansion, he was afraid that he would not be able to pick up his daughter in time.
Chen Nong planned to say hello to his wife and daughter first, and then go to the drug store to pass a message to the waiter.
When I returned indoors, I saw that my wife, who was bedridden, had actually gotten out of bed, and she didn't look as weak as before while holding my daughter while talking.
"A Liang, are you okay?" Chen Nong was surprised and happy.
Mrs. Chen was angry, "Mei'er gave me medicine from Si Yefu. She said that these medicines were provided by Siyefu for free for people to survive the disaster."
Chen Nong watched his wife regain her rosy appearance. His face and tone lost confidence, "There is no good thing in the world that doesn't require money, let alone Siye Mansion..." Facing the gazes of his wife and daughter, Chen Nong couldn't say anything anymore, so he changed the subject and said, "It's my narrow-mindedness. It’s too narrow. I promised the waiter at the drug store to send him a message. I’ll come back as soon as I go.”
Mrs. Chen didn’t dwell on her husband’s fault and said, “Since I’m out, I’ll go to Siye.” Let’s take a look. Mei’er said that every suffering citizen can receive a copy of the medicine. If there are too many people in Siye Mansion and it’s inconvenient, they can go to the government office to get it.”
Chen Nong agreed and left. Door.
He first went to the drug store to deliver the news to the waiter. After the waiter learned that there was no younger brother, he was just disappointed for a moment and then regained his energy and said to Chen Nong: "I will find a way to sell that medicine to you."
Chen Nong waved his hand: "No, I don't need it anymore."
"Okay." The waiter breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper opened the curtain and when he saw the two of them, he scolded the waiter angrily: "I invited you here to do work, not to chat with others."
The waiter lowered his head. He made a small apology and waited for the shopkeeper to put down the curtain and go back to the back room, then secretly He cursed, "I deserve to have no business, I deserve to not be able to make any money. If Siye Mansion hadn't hired pharmacists, why would I still be here."
After saying that, he found that Chen Nong was still where he was, with an expression on his face. Changed, "You don't talk nonsense, do you?"
Chen Nong quickly shook his head, and then asked the question in his heart, "Do you think you have a lot of trust in Siyefu? In the past, Siyefu didn't do anything, but this time he is suddenly so philanthropic, so there is no need to worry about a conspiracy."< br>The waiter looked at him strangely, "You are too arrogant. Si Yefu wants to harm people, so just ignore this disaster. Why bother?"
Chen Nong thought to himself, maybe he could tell. He does bad things and wants a good reputation.
He was walking on the road with deep thoughts, and when he heard that most of the topics discussed by the people passing by were related to Si Ye Mansion, his face became relaxed.
Unconsciously, I arrived at the gate of Siye Mansion again and stood in a long queue to receive medicine.
Bored while waiting in line, he opened the origami paper Fuzi had given him in his sleeve.
At the beginning, I wrote a call for essays, allowing interested writers to write more complete stories for the nursery rhymes below.
Nursery Rhymes?
Could it be that the master is joking with him.
Thinking of Master Enlightenment’s character, Chen Nong put this idea aside and looked down seriously.
[Grandpa is carrying a big toad on his back and wants to feed the toad worms...]
Why should a toad be so big and need to be carried on his back? It is indeed childish.
Chen Nong laughed, but his heart beat strangely faster. The words seemed to have a strange magic power that grabbed his eyes, making him unable to look away.
[Where is Bug Bug? ]
The child's clear and childlike questioning voice echoed in my ears.
Where? Where?
[Looked down and saw that it was me]
It was me, it was me~
Chen Nong’s smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and goosebumps covered his arms.
[Grandma is shouting for dinner~]
Creaking.
The sticky sound of chewing and licking is getting closer and closer, and the child's voice is clear and innocent, responding to the distant mother-in-law's call.
Don’t go, don’t go.
Chen Nong roared with fear in his heart.
In a trance, I saw innocent children walking ignorantly and playfully towards the monster's open mouth, and finally walked into the darkness, and were swept away and swallowed by the long tongue.
Creaking, creaking, creaking——
[It turns out that we are rice! ]
The child's song sounded like crying or laughing, accompanied by the sticky sound of chewing and swallowing, echoing from the monster's belly.
“Hey!”
Chen Nong was pushed in the back.
He fell to the ground, his face turned pale, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.
The people behind him were startled, "I didn't use my strength, don't try to blackmail me!"
Looking at the people in front and back with condemnation and suspicion, this person became even more Feeling wronged, he shouted: "It was because he was standing there all the time that I pushed him. You can see for yourselves that there is a long distance between him and the one in front."
"What's the fuss about? Who's causing trouble?" Du Xing Zhi ran over and Xiao Xiao stared at them.
No adult looked down upon him. The man quickly pointed at Chen Nong and said, "He wants to blackmail someone!"
Du Xingzhi looked at Chen Nong, "You..." "Ah——!" Chen Nong, who had not recovered from the erosion of some invisible terrifying aura, suddenly heard the voice of a child close at hand, and finally held his head. The panic that had been held in his throat for a long time was released.
"..." Du Xingzhi was so frightened that he jumped back.
The man behind quickly said: "That's it, he just blackmailed me like this."
Du Xingzhi was about to call someone to punish people who messed with the rules when he suddenly saw Chen Nong falling beside him. Falling paper.
He picked it up and took a look at it, and understood the reason for Chen Nong's abnormal behavior.
“Why are you adults so cowardly?” Du Xingzhi muttered.
Two Si Yefu disciples had already rushed to grab Chen Nong's arm. Du Xingzhi raised the paper in his hand and said, "Send him to the clerk's room." After saying that, he stuffed the paper back into Chen Nong's hand. In thick clothes.
Library room.
Chen Nong was sent in by the disciples of Si Yefu and saw the Master and several other scholars sitting at the desk.
Chen Nong calmed down a lot when he saw a familiar person.
The master came over and was not surprised when he saw his face. He whispered: "Have you finished reading the nursery rhyme?"
"..." Chen Nong's expression was hard to explain. , "I haven't finished reading."
The master paused, looked at his face again, and was worried: It feels like half of his life has been lost before he finished reading. Is it still okay to read again? But there are too few people on his side who can bear to write it down.
Chen Nong: "Master, I'm afraid that nursery rhyme is different."
The master nodded and told the truth, "Eight of them have been carried out here."
Chen Nong stared at the master in disbelief.
The master explained, "Don't be afraid. If you don't die, you can still get the longevity pill from Siye Mansion. Those literati are all voluntary. If they don't fail once, they won't be given the second time. They took the pill I want to come back and try the medicine again.”
< br>Chen Nong asked: "Is the Jushou Pill a medicine distributed by Si Yefu?"
Master: "Have you not received the medicine yet? What was distributed was a diluted potion, and the Jushou Pill is Something better.”
Chen Nong has been hit many times today and doesn't want to mention his suspicions about Si Yefu again.
The master did not ask deeply, but when it came to business, "Are you still doing the polishing of articles?"
After experiencing the horror just now, Chen Nong still felt frightened when he thought about it, and his scalp was sweating. With trembling lips, he said: "Do it."
The Master, who had already predicted rejection from his expression, was about to persuade again, and he didn't realize what he heard until the words reached his tongue.
“Huh?”
"I said, do it." Chen Nong shivered and took out the crumpled paper from his clothes, slowly unfolded it and continued to read.
The master just watched this man who was almost thirty years old swaying, his legs weak and he sat down with support on the table. His face turned blue as if the half-life he had just recovered had gone, and finally he shed tears. In a flash, silent tears fell.
The trembling body made it difficult to tell whether he was afraid or excited.
......
On the table is a thin stack of polished and expanded articles sent by the Master.
Mi August sat over and asked, "That's all?"
If she remembered correctly, there were many disciples of Master Hu who were new to him, and there were also many literati who were recruited.
Zhai Ling silently told the story about the nursery rhyme written by Mi Feixue that scared most of the literati into fainting and frightened them.
After listening, Mi August was slightly surprised. The stories written by Xiao Feixue are indeed darker and more metaphorical than those written by ordinary children. In her opinion, this is not a shortcoming, but an advantage. It is easy to attract people. It's impressive and catchy, but not to the point of knocking people out.
"Those children also read and learned it, but there was no problem." Mi August said.
The spirit of the house should be, but can't answer the reason.
Mi August was thoughtful, so he picked up the article on the table and read it.
——Mi Feixue’s creative perspective is special and metaphorical. If he wants to be better promoted and accepted and understood by the people, he must write articles with more storytelling.
This is like poetry that has been passed down through the ages, requiring future generations to read and understand a truth.
To Mi August's surprise, he read three articles in a row. All three articles more or less understood the connotation of Mi Feixue's creation and understood her metaphors.
This class of literati was better than she thought.
She put aside the articles with the best reading comprehension and polishing, turned to the last one and just read the beginning to calm down.
"Feng Mingzi"
This was the only article named among the several articles she read.
A premonition that he was about to find a treasure made Mi August raise his eyebrows and continue to look back.
Ten minutes later.
Mi August turned back to the first page of the article he had read and found the author's name.
Chen Nong.
This person almost perfected Mi Feixue's nursery rhyme and expanded it into a complete horror story, as if he had experienced everything that happened in Beiyuan City as a bystander, including Wen Jiazi's suffering. Feng Baozi's rescue seems to empathize with the children's pain and the common people's fear, and construct it in words.
He is a talent.
It just so happens that Siye Mansion is short of talents right now.
Today, two consecutive chapters are big chapters! The water has been drained!
