It couldn't be sold, and it couldn't be sold at a good price. Now it has to eat expensive spiritual rice. I'm afraid it will become more and more difficult to find a suitable buyer.
It would be too expensive to keep it alive any longer.
So, if you run, just run.
However, just when he was about to let go of his worries, the dog ran back and returned to him obediently. It actually crawled back into the nest, that is, into the metal jar.
Yu Qing has a toothache. What does it mean that this expensive thing comes back after it has already run away? It doesn't run away even though it is given a chance to run away. What does it mean?
Later, he gradually realized that this bitch must have found nowhere to go after escaping. In addition, this guy is very vigilant and feels that there is danger everywhere, and he can provide free food here, no.
Where else can you go when you come back?
Yu Qing was helpless when he encountered such a useless thing. It was tasteless to keep and it would be a pity to lose it.
The result is just randomness.
Fortunately, for this man who travels alone in the world and occasionally sleeps in the mountains and forests at night, 'Big Head' has gradually begun to have some effect.
It feels good to be able to boil water at any time when you find a water source in the wild.
When you want to light a fire, throw it into the firewood pile, imitate its voice, and "cry" twice. After it understands, it will actually "cry and cry" and spit out sparks to help you light the fire.
Without the rope to tie it up, it is no longer convenient to lift the slide. If you give it some habitual sound training, Big Head can quickly understand it. After all, it is something it is used to doing.
For example, every time you want to pour it into water, if you tap the metal can twice, it will soon know that you want it to boil water.
After finding some tricks, Yu Qing began to adjust his voice when tapping the metal can.
One person and one insect live together day and night, and are inseparable until now. 'Big Head' has accepted Yu Qing's voice control.
"Big head, boil water."
Upon hearing this sound, Big Head will climb out of the jar and jump into the water in the nearest container.
"Da Tou, cry."
Upon hearing this sound, Big Head will climb out of the jar again, jump into the pile of firewood, and spit out sparks to light the fire.
When he's full, he doesn't need Yu Qing's personal help, he will find a place to fart on his own.
The key is that when you are in an unknown place, releasing the 'big head' actually has the effect of being a vigilant sentry.
Because of his natural insecurity and his high vigilance when in the underground space, he will immediately sound the alarm once he finds something approaching.
For example, at this moment, 'Big Head' was flying around him, but he didn't dare to fly far.
It's better than at the beginning. At the beginning, it seemed that I was not used to living on the surface like this. Now I find that I can survive on the surface, and I seem to be gradually adapting.
After flying wildly for a while, 'Big Head' suddenly landed on Yu Qing's shoulder and clung to Yu Qing's body for a ride. This was much better than being shaken in a slippery jar.
But he is still very vigilant, still very afraid of strangers, and will still hide when he sees passers-by.
For example, if someone passes by Yu Qing's left, it will immediately crawl to Yu Qing's right shoulder and hide, as if it only recognizes Yu Qing.
No one who doesn't know what this bug is will just mistakenly think that it is just an ordinary bug that has landed on Yu Qing.
Occasionally when the energy gets high, Big Head will jump out and fly for a while, really seeming to be gradually adapting to life on the surface.
A man is riding a horse, an insect is flying beside him, the sun is shining brightly...
The weather is overcast, it’s mid-afternoon in a small county town.
An ordinary carriage passed through the city, and Mr. Ming in the carriage occasionally opened a corner of the curtains to look at the street scene of this small county town.
I didn't dare to open it completely, for fear of being recognized, and I also thought that I might be overthinking and who would recognize him, but I still didn't dare.
The shouts of the peddlers on the street, the chatter and laughter of passers-by, and the noise of children running around and playing were all filled with local accents, which made him feel particularly happy.
After the carriage arrived at the outskirts of the city, Mr. Ming felt uneasy. He had been separated for many years and was very sentimental and timid.
There is a bamboo forest courtyard on the outskirts of the city. The courtyard wall is a fence. Within the wall are vegetable plots for self-sustaining. A woman wearing a headscarf squats in the vegetable plot to peel the vegetables. The peels are edible and left inside.
When the young leaves grow up, you can continue to pick them up and eat them. When the cabbage hearts grow up, you can cut them off and peel them for cooking.
The bamboo forest courtyard is very elegant, the inside is also very clean, the walls of the house are also well painted, and the entire courtyard is tidy, not dilapidated as Mr. Ming imagined.
The carriage stopped outside the courtyard gate. Mr. Ming got out of the carriage and got out of the carriage. He paid off the fare and thanked the driver each other before saying goodbye.
Turning around to face this familiar courtyard, Mr. Ming, who was used to seeing wealthy families in the capital, felt extremely nervous. This was his real home.
His father was a teacher. He originally had a small property in the city. Later, because his father liked the elegance and tranquility of this place, he sold the property and sold this acre of land to settle down. Mr. Ming spent his childhood here, and his knowledge began here.
this.
I vaguely remember the time when I and my father were holding books and asking questions in the bamboo forest. However, my father was weak and died young.
When he looked around the courtyard, he saw a simple woman standing in the vegetable field in the courtyard, and their eyes met.
Two neighbors who were passing by with their hands behind their backs were chatting. When they saw the person at the door of the courtyard, after taking a closer look, they were suddenly stunned and one of them pointed in disbelief.
"Yuan Cheng, is that you?"
one person asked.
Mr. Ming looked back, then turned around. He was not as bohemian as he was in Beijing. He bowed his hands and bowed in greeting.
"Yuan Cheng, are you really back?"
The two of them were so surprised that they were so excited that they seemed at a loss, and then they quickly returned the gift.
Hearing the conversation outside, the woman in the vegetable field was shocked. The woman's face was beautiful, but the traces of time were inevitable.
The three people outside the door communicated for a while. They heard that they had just arrived and had not entered the door yet. The two of them did not want to be disturbed. They excused themselves and made an appointment to talk later.
When Mr. Ming turned around and looked at the woman in the courtyard, the woman hurried over and opened the courtyard door, leaving everyone in a hurry.
I took off my headscarf, quickly wiped the mud on my hands, smoothed my hair, and pulled my clothes neatly, looking very embarrassed.
She was none other than Mr. Ming's first wife, a woman from a scholarly family.
She went to Beijing to look for her husband and found him, but she was scolded by Mr. Ming and was scolded back, and they never saw each other again.
Seeing the beauty again, Mr. Ming suddenly felt as if he was in a dream. The gentle and lovely bright woman back then, the most beautiful woman in his mind, had also suffered changes in appearance over the years. The image he had always imagined of her was still the same as before.
"Madam." Mr. Ming bowed his hands and spoke first.
"Husband." Mrs. Ming immediately squatted down and saluted, then excitedly reached out to help her husband take off the package on his back, and greeted her husband into the house. Then she turned around and burst into tears, wiping her tears and closing the fence gate.
Soon, the news of the return of Mr. Ming, the number one talent of the year, swept through the entire county like the wind.
The old lady from the Ming family was the first to be sent back surrounded by her neighbors.
The old lady has a memory problem, her intelligence is like that of a child, and her hair is like snow, but her hair is not messy and her clothes are neat, which shows that she is well taken care of and she still has snacks in her hands.
When he saw Mr. Ming standing next to Mrs. Ming, he immediately grabbed a stick and beat her.
"Get out of here, you thief! Don't bully our family. My son went to Beijing to take the imperial examination. When he becomes a high official, I will come back and put you in jail..."
Although the old lady is mentally ill, she knows how to protect her daughter-in-law's chastity.
When Mr. Ming came back and learned that his mother had a brain problem, he burst into tears. He knelt down and kowtowed, "My son is unfilial, my son is unfilial..."
He was not immune to the blows from his mother's stick, and his forehead was bleeding.
"You're a thief, not my son. My son is a child prodigy. Who knows from all over the country that my son is full of knowledge and talent..."
The old lady kept beating and scolding her.
Mr. Ming, who kept kowtowing, cried so hard that he almost wanted to cry to death. He kept repeating the words "son is unfilial".
A group of neighbors at first allowed the old lady to discipline their son, but later they saw that the old lady was being arrogant and struck harshly. They immediately rushed forward and joined forces to fight the old lady away...
The Ming family was very lively that day. Many people came to visit with gifts. There was a long queue outside the Ming family. They all wanted Mr. Ming to help teach their children to study.
Mr. Ming, who had never dared to go home or face his neighbors, was surprised. He found out after asking his wife.
In fact, things were not what he imagined. No matter which profession he made achievements in, he was an outstanding person.
He knew this truth himself, but he didn't expect it to happen to him.
According to his wife, at first the government office was in arrears in distributing his salary, but later he became famous in the capital. I heard that he had many connections in the capital. Many wealthy families in the capital regarded him as their honored guest, so no one dared to bully him anymore.
The Ming family is here.
Those who have young scholars at home are also very protective of this place, and they all count on their Mr. Ming in case anything happens.
Of course, the surrounding neighbors also had some complaints. Some people behind the scenes said that he had so many connections in the capital, but he was unwilling to do anything to help his hometown.
It turned out that in the eyes of his neighbors, he was already a great man with extraordinary achievements.
Especially this time, Mr. Ming trained Huiyuan Lang with perfect scores in four subjects, which spread like thunder throughout his hometown, adding to his illustrious statement.
When his wife mentioned the matter of 'Ashiheng', Mr. Ming was immediately speechless.
On the way, he also heard about 'Ashi Heng''s resignation, and felt sad in his heart. It turned out that what the person who asked him to go back to help with the exam was indeed true. 'Ashi Heng' really didn't care about those people with any kind of fame.
Interested, I feel sorry for myself but I have been suffering for it my whole life.
On that day, Mr. Ming, whose head was bandaged due to knocking off his head, generously paid for it and held an open-air banquet outside the hospital for the neighbors. Anyone who wished could come and eat for free. He expressed his gratitude to the neighbors for taking care of the Ming family over the years.
When the banquet was held, the county magistrate and a number of government officials came to support him and made acquaintance with him politely.
In the days that followed, Mrs. Ming, who was enveloped in the glory of her husband's return home, almost never stopped smiling. She kept helping to deal with the visitors, and she really couldn't take care of the few vegetables in the yard.
A few days later, a retired official came from the state capital and paid a personal visit at his old age.
After he and Mr. Ming took their seats, the old man smiled and asked, "Does Yuan Cheng still recognize me?"
Mr. Ming hesitated, "Since Mr. Boss said this, could it be that we have had some interactions with each other before?"
The old gentleman stroked his beard and smiled and said: "When you took the provincial examination, I was one of the examiners. You probably don't remember it, and it's been so many years in the blink of an eye."
"Disrespect, disrespect." Mr. Ming quickly stood up and bowed as if he were facing a master.
The old gentleman waved his hand repeatedly, motioning for him to sit down, and then sighed: "I can still remember your subject clearly. Yuan Cheng, did you know that you were the top candidate in that provincial examination?"
Mr. Ming smiled slightly. He had heard too much flattery in the past few days and was numb. He said politely: "Sir, that's ridiculous."
"No!" the old man waved his hand again, stroking his beard and said: "It's not that I'm praising you, it's that you yourself have lost Jieyuan. I vaguely remember that you once uttered wild words to the candidates of the same session, saying that this year's explanation
Yuan Fei is none other than you. This word has reached our ears. The chief judge has read your article, cherishes your talent, and said that you are so frivolous that you will definitely suffer disaster in the capital in the future, so he decided to suppress you. Then
I still remember the original words of the chief judge, saying that a mere solution cannot determine a person's future, so demoting him now is saving his life and ensuring his good death!"
