It was almost noon, and Ye Chen and Chen Bing were still chopping wood. Chen Bing couldn't chop anymore and sat down and said, "Chenzi, I suddenly feel something is wrong, but I can't explain it."

Ye Chen raised his arm and wiped his sweat and said, "Are you wondering what this bamboo basket is for us? I've been thinking about it."

Chen Bing slapped his thigh and said: "Yes, yes, yes, what's wrong? It's this bamboo basket. You said sir, let us chop down trees, so why do you bring a bamboo basket with you? The wood is so big that it can't be contained."

ah."

"Don't think about it. After the chopping is done, I will take you to pick mushrooms. The chicken will be stewed with mushrooms for lunch." Wu Jinsong's voice came from behind the two of them.

When Chen Bing heard this, he jumped up excitedly and started to indulge!

Wu Jinsong looked at Chen Bing and smiled and continued: "Picking mushrooms in the mountains is different from buying vegetables in the market. If you are not careful, you will die if you pick poisonous mushrooms and eat them. You must keep five points in mind. First of all, look at

Edible non-toxic mushrooms mostly grow in clean grassland or on pine and oak trees. Poisonous mushrooms often grow in dark, humid and dirty areas. Secondly, look at the color. The surface of poisonous mushrooms is brightly colored, ranging from red to green.

, black, blue and other colors, especially purple ones, are often highly toxic and easy to change color after picking. Thirdly, look at the shape. The non-toxic caps are flat, the umbrella surface is smooth, there are no wheels on the fungus surface, and the lower part is sterile, which is poisonous.

The center of the cap is convex and has a weird shape. The surface of the mushroom is thick and hard. There are spores on the stem. The stem is long and slender or thick and easy to break. Fourth, look at the secretion and tear the fresh wild mushrooms that you picked.

The non-toxic secretions of strains are as clear as water (some are white) and do not change color when the mushroom surface is torn off; the toxic secretions are thick and reddish brown and easily change color in the air after being torn off. The fifth smell is that non-toxic mushrooms have special

Fragrance, poisonous mushrooms have a strange smell, such as spicy, sour, fishy, ​​etc.”

After saying so much in one breath, Wu Jinsong didn't care whether the two of them remembered it or not. He took the lead and walked forward. When he saw mushrooms, he bent down to pick them, and then asked the two of them if they could eat them and why! If they saw wild vegetables and fruits,

, and also explain whether it is edible and how to identify it. After asking and answering this question, it was already past lunch time, but Ye Chen and Chen Bing were not in a hurry, because they knew in their hearts that their husband was teaching them how to survive in the mountains.

road.

Behind Wu Jinsong's cabin, there was originally a dense jungle, but it was cut down into a large open space by Ye Chen and Chen Bing. Countless rattans and rattans were hung on the surrounding trees.

The lower ends are tied with pieces of wood of different thicknesses. If you look carefully, you can see that some of the pieces of wood have been sharpened to the top. There is also a piece of wood piles in the open space, of different heights, some thick and some thin.

Usually after running and boxing, Wu Jinsong would take the two of them here to train. Although it is not a superb kung fu, but as time goes by, the two of them understand why they have to practice like this, at least now they are going up and down the mountain.

The speed is faster again.

In the next few months, Wu Jinsong taught Ye Chen and Chen Bing everything he knew and could speak and experience without reservation. However, Chen Bing always dozed off or distracted, and only Ye Chen did it every time.

He listened attentively and asked questions about this and that from time to time, which made Master Wu feel annoyed with him.

Every day was the same as before, getting up early in the morning, washing up briefly, and then asking Chen Bing to go up the mountain together. They ran for a jog, imitated the teacher's fists and kicks, and even gesticulated when nothing happened. Chen Bing was often beaten to pieces by Ye Chen.

In his spare time, Mr. Wu would also tell the two of them about history and brag about how powerful the famous generals from various countries were. Of course, those were all events nine years ago. Some time ago, Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen also asked them to do it.

Well, he ran around all morning and night. Ye Chen and Chen Bing didn't hide anything, they told him everything, but they were told not to disturb Mr. Wu, and not to tell the villagers, for fear of disturbing them.

Mr. Wu's innocence. Uncle Chen and the others didn't care. But Chen Bing's change made them very happy. After all, everyone wants their son to be clean.

The child is getting better and better.

…

In the Anhua Palace, Emperor Zhu Chengyuan and the chief minister of the cabinet Li Xianlai were having sex with Qi, and there were a few taels of silver and some scattered copper coins on the table in front of them. Who would have thought that the majestic emperor of the country and the general manager of the civil and military officials and the cabinet chief

The old man would take the lead in gambling, and sometimes he would fight over a few hundred copper coins. Lai Si on the side was working hard, and his papers were full of memorials. In China, anything that did not involve military affairs and the common people

Emperor Zhu Chengyuan would submit all matters of livelihood to the cabinet for review and approval, and then the cabinet would approve them to him. Generally, if there were no problems, they would be handed over to the lower levels for handling.

At this time, a young eunuch outside the palace hurriedly walked in with his head lowered and small steps. When he came closer, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the head of the Ministry of War, Mr. Wang Yongwen, wants to see you."

"Xuan!"

"Yes," the little eunuch slowly retreated. After a while, Wang Yongwen walked in, knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, there has been progress in the veterans' pension matter, but every time the investigation reaches a critical moment, the clues will always be broken at the right time.

It’s as if the other party knows every step I take. Please make it clear, Your Majesty.”

The emperor looked at him and waved his hand and said: "You don't need to worry about this matter. I have my own arrangements. In addition, I have arranged for Qian Zhonglai, the head of the household department, to personally supervise the repayment of pensions. Later, you can arrange for someone to go to Beijing nine years ago."

The list of places and addresses of the fallen soldiers in Xinjiang was sent to Qian Zhonglai."

"Yes, I will retire." After saying that, he left.

The emperor turned around and looked at the personal eunuch again and said: "Qiu Sihai, go and call Huangfu Leng."

Huangfu Leng, the head of the Supervision Department. The Supervision Department is a supervisory agency responsible only to Emperor Zhu Chengyuan. Its main responsibilities are to supervise civil and military officials, investigate enemy spies, and infiltrate and instigate enemy forces.

Half an hour later, in Anhua Palace, Huangfu Leng stood beside the emperor and said from time to time: "Your Majesty, this move is instant." Li Xianlai on the side rolled his eyes at him and said: "Master Huangfu, why don't you and

Your Majesty, come and have a round."

Huangfu sneered and said: "Don't worry, I have no money to lose, you continue."

At this time, Zhu Chengyuan spoke: "Huangfu Leng, I will send someone to investigate the pension for the fallen soldiers in Northern Xinjiang today. Remember your responsibilities. No matter who is investigated, you have the right to supervise the investigation."

Huangfu Leng clasped his hands and leaned over and said: "My lord, in compliance with the order, go and send someone to supervise this matter now."

…

It's hard to keep it for years, but it's easy to lose it with time.

Fun does not cost time.

Two years have passed quickly, and Ye Chen and Chen Bing have become a lot darker and stronger. Recently, the threshold of Chen Bing's family has been crossed, and several matchmakers in the town have taken turns to come to matchmaking.

.As an eighteen-year-old boy, it’s time to get married and have children. In the words of Uncle Chen, you first get married and give birth to a few fat boys for us, and then I won’t care about you. Every time Chen Bing sees a matchmaker coming to his door, he feels in his heart

I was all happy, and I thought to myself, are all these girls so unrestrained now? On the other hand, Ye Chen didn't have a matchmaker. It wasn't that he was ugly, but the parents in the village were probably afraid that their girls would marry and suffer hardship.

Another day at noon, Ye Chen and Chen Bing had just returned from Wu Jinsong's place and were sitting under the big locust tree at the entrance of the village, breathing heavily. They heard Ye Chen say: "Bingzi, when are you going to get married?"

Chen Bing was stunned: "Why don't I know about getting married?"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "There have been so many matchmakers coming to our door recently to make matchmaking, but there is no one you like?"

Chen Bing said: "Rouge fans, where can you find a man as good as me in the world? Let me tell you, my woman must at least be the most beautiful one in Annan Road."

Ye Chen covered his eyes with his hands and kept twitching. Chen Bing wondered: "

Chenzi, why are you laughing? I’m telling the truth, I’m not kidding you.” Halfway through the words, I felt a pain in my ears, and Uncle Chen’s words came from behind: “You stinky boy, you are the most beautiful one in Annan Road, I

See if your skin is itchy, come home with me to meet Matchmaker Wang."

Chen Bing half-moved and said, "Chenzi, you are playing with me." Before he could finish speaking, Uncle Chen grabbed his ear and walked home. Ye Chen was left alone in a daze, as if he was thinking about something.

His eyes became more and more determined.

After a while, Ye Chen ran towards Dayu Mountain again.

In the small wooden house, the two of them were sitting opposite each other, and the sound of each mouth sucking noodles was louder than the other, as if they were competing to see who could make the louder sound.

Ye Chen said without raising his head: "Sir, I want to leave Wuming Town and go out for a look."

"Where do you want to go?"

Ye Chen replied: "I don't know, I will probably join the army."

Wu Jinsong slowly raised his head, looked at Ye Chen and said, "Is it because of the Anli people?"

Ye Chen was slightly startled, looked at Wu Jinsong and said: "How do you know, sir? I have never mentioned it to anyone, not even Bingzi knows."

"When you first came here, there was always a hint of murderous intent hidden in your eyes. Logically speaking, a child as old as you who has never experienced any tragic events should not have these things in his eyes.

" Wu Jinsong wiped his mouth and continued: "Later I went down the mountain and asked people from the same village as you, and I found out that your family was originally from Jiuchang County, North China Road. Nine years ago, because of the cavalry guarding the city in Northern Xinjiang,

After the defeat, an Anli cavalry force of nearly a thousand people entered Jiuchang County, North China Province. The Anli cavalry burned, killed, and looted wantonly. Your father was slashed in the back by an Anli cavalry man on his way home, and was later killed by the policemen who came to clean up.

The Northern Xinjiang cavalry rescued him, took him back to the army, applied some medicine and returned home. Because the war in Northern Xinjiang was unstable, His Majesty the Emperor encouraged the people to move south, so your father led your family to escape to Annan Road.

, but unfortunately the stab wound on his back was infected, and he eventually died due to lack of money and medicine. Your mother also died due to excessive grief and poor health, and her old disease recurred, and she passed away soon."

Ye Chen was stunned when he heard this. It took him a while to react and said: "Yes, if it weren't for Anli people, I could be like Bingzi and have hot meals when I go home every day. No matter whether I am full or not, I still feel in my heart

It's warm after all. Moreover, I heard the teacher say that at that time, there were tens of thousands of people blocking the gate of Beijiang City. How could the Anli man be let in? I couldn't understand why. So I wanted to join the army. First, kill

Enemies and thieves, protect my territory and prevent as many people as possible from what happened to me. Secondly, when I become an official, I will investigate what happened at the gate of the city."

Wu Jinsong sighed and said: "Actually, many things are not as simple as you think. I know that you will do it whether I teach you or not. I might as well teach you more skills, which can be regarded as my contribution.

Be kind and accumulate some virtue. But Chenzi, please remember, no matter what happens, you should be calm at any time, think more about the good things of others, and don't push yourself too hard."

Wu Jinsong stood up and patted Ye Chen on the shoulder and continued: "Bingzi is kind-hearted by nature, and he is as close to you as a brother. If you want to go, he will definitely follow. When you get outside, you will know the true love between you."

They are very valuable, and brothers are nothing more than that. Chenzi, remember, no matter where you go or where you sit, you can't forget you and those who have helped you."

Ye Chen quickly stood up and bowed down: "Ye Chen will remember your teacher's teachings and will definitely live up to your teacher's name."

Wu Jinsong took a step forward and pulled Ye Chen up and said: "Go, go down the mountain, maybe you will see him before you reach the bottom of the mountain."
