The small hotel is surrounded by stone walls, and there is a mountain forest not far away. The road up the mountain has been stepped on and paved with fine stones, which is very convenient.
Teacher Jin was not worried about the students going to the mountains, and only asked them to find a place in the town to draw the scenery, clapped their hands and asked everyone to gather: "Classmates, today's homework is to hand in more than 3 landscape sketches with houses, everyone remember I hand it over to the monitor before dinner, you know?"
After this homework was arranged, there were no students running up the mountain, they all honestly found a place to start framing and painting in groups of three or five.
Guo Jingyu didn't rush to paint, and went back to the hotel with Li Tongzhou to put his luggage.
The inn was tidy and tidy, Guo Jingyu stood on the third floor window and looked out, just in time to see the scenery. There are mostly stone houses in the town, and many fruit trees are planted. In late autumn, some red dates that have not been harvested in time are also hanging on the branches, intertwined with yellow and green leaves, which looks very layered.
Guo Jingyu watched it for a while, and then became greedy.
After Li Tongzhou packed up his luggage, Guo Jingyu had already run down and bought a small bag of red dates from the boss. After getting it, he placed it on the stone steps aside, and borrowed a bamboo pole from the boss to prepare persimmons.
Guo Jingyu looked up at the persimmon tree at the door, squinted his eyes and picked it out for a while. Those persimmons were a little too ripe and fell off when touched. Guo Jingyu was not very skilled at first, and broke two of them, and then he knew how to deal with them. After using it, I successfully knocked down a few persimmons and placed them in a row on the stone steps.
When Li Tongzhou came over, he saw it and asked, "Want to eat persimmons? Let the boss do it."
Guo Jingyu shook his head, "No, I told the boss that I will pick it up by myself, and he will weigh me by jin when I come back."
Seeing him rubbing his neck, Li Tongzhou stepped forward to take over the bamboo pole. Guo Jingyu was in charge of the command. He helped to lay down some of the biggest persimmons and put them on the stone steps together. Guo Jingyu got the most coveted ones on the two trees, and was satisfied. He borrowed a small bamboo basket from the boss to put it in. After weighing it, he found that it was more than 20 pounds.
The boss smiled and said: "One piece and five kilograms, it's not worth anything if you grow it at home."
This price is very cheap. When Guo Jingyu paid the money, the boss even gave him a fraction, and the red dates were half sold and half free. Most of them were locals, and they casually served children as snacks.
Guo Jingyu picked out a plate, washed it, brought it back, and shared it with Li Tongzhou. The ripe persimmons were so sweet that their skin was so thin that when they were knocked with his teeth, the juice began to flow out. It's loud, it tastes different, and it's fun.
Li Tongzhou didn't like sweets very much, so he stopped after eating one.
Guo Jingyu ate two, and when he was about to take another, Li Tongzhou stopped him and said, "I have dinner later, don't eat too much."
Guo Jingyu licked his fingers, "I haven't eaten such sweet persimmons for a long time. I will buy some to take with me when I leave. My dad also likes to eat them."
Li Tongzhou's eyes fell on his fingers, and after holding back, he still grabbed his hand and took a tissue to wipe him a little bit.
Guo Jingyu giggled, his fingers deliberately messed up and rubbed against the back of his hand.
Li Tongzhou simply carried people over and washed their hands together.
Guo Jingyu tasted that the persimmon was good, picked a plate that looked beautiful and full, and brought it to Teacher Jin.
Teacher Jin was instructing students to draw, and he was very happy to see him, and said to the students next to him: "This is your senior senior teacher, Guo Jingyu, the one I often mention to you, his professional class is very good, etc. You can follow along while he draws for a while."
Guo Jingyu originally wanted to be lazy, but Teacher Jin stopped him halfway, so he could only take out his sketchbook and find a place to start his homework.
The three landscape sketches were too simple for him. He drew them quickly. Li Tongzhou found a stone stair and sat down to read a book and waited for him.
Guo Jingyu filmed the scene on the spot, used him as a model, and drew people in it.
There was a circle of juniors and juniors around him, and they didn't dare to talk to him. They just watched silently. A brave little girl asked a question in a low voice. Guo Jingyu answered patiently, which made the surrounding People relax.
A girl standing next to him looked at his paintings, blinked and asked, "Senior, is the senior over there also in the art class? Is his major good?"
Guo Jingyu laughed and teased them: "He's very professional."
"Are you stronger than you?"
"Yes, he usually teaches me."
"Wow-"
Guo Jingyu taught for a while, and seeing that these children were still not leaving, he simply gave them his sketchbook and let them take it to copy and study, and then they escaped.
Li Tongzhou has already read half of the book, and he turned the pages at a very fast speed, so fast that it almost made people misunderstand whether he was reading it seriously. When he heard the footsteps approaching, he stopped turning the pages with his hands and raised his head: " Finished painting?"
Guo Jingyu stretched his waist and said, "Well, I just finished painting, and I was really tired to lead the students. I remembered that it was time to be in the studio. Let's go, let's go around the neighborhood."
Li Tongzhou closed the book, got up and went for a walk with him.
The town is small, with many cobblestones and cobblestone paths everywhere, which look very chic.
Guo Jingyu and Li Tongzhou chatted in low voices as they walked. Most of the time, Guo Jingyu was talking and Li Tongzhou was listening. Guo Jingyu likes to be lively, and it is very interesting to say anything when it comes to his mouth. After walking on the road for a while, he saw students who came out to sketch, wearing the school uniform of Nancheng School, probably because Teacher Jin was away, and he was immersed in painting. Not many, but there are a few who are joking around.
Because there are so many people here, some villagers put some persimmons, walnuts and other things for sale there, and there is a small stall with a dozen pieces of gravel, selling "fossils".
The seller of "fossils" was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was black and thin. He spread a newspaper on the ground, sat on a pony, and tied a puppy beside him. The dog was very small and looked at him. It is only two or three months old, with dirty hair and a milky cry. The man's shouting attracts a lot of people to watch, but many classmates just come to see it casually, and no one really buys it.
The man shouted, "The shale fossils are here. One piece is only 300 yuan, which is cheap! First come, first served, each piece is different, little classmate, look at it?" In the hands of a classmate who was standing there, he forced him to watch.
The boy had never experienced this battle before, he blushed for a while, and wanted to let him go, but the other party refused and said, "Look at it again, where can I find such a good fossil?"
The classmate pushed back a few times, and said repeatedly: "No need, I won't buy it."
The man was a little anxious. When he stood up, he tripped over Maza. The dog tied to it was strangled to the neck and barked. The male student was startled, and when he returned the stone, he retracted his hand. It was a bit fast, but the man didn't catch it, and the stone piece fell to the ground with a slap and broke into two halves.
This time, the man didn't let the other party go. He dragged his school uniform and said, "You can't go, do you want to go straight after you damaged my fossil? You have to accompany me for 80 yuan!"
The male classmate blushed and waved his hand to push him: "You didn't catch it yourself, and your dog suddenly barked, which startled me..."
The man turned around and kicked the puppy. The puppy was in pain, and screamed "Ouch, ooh, ooh" a few times. The man said arrogantly: "It's only two months old, how scary can it be? If you break something yourself, you have to lose money!"
The surrounding classmates didn't expect him to kick when he lifted his foot, and many girls couldn't bear to say "Oops".
Men dare not do anything to the students, but they can beat their own dogs, deliberately kick them twice to frighten them, and force them to pay compensation, "You all belong to the same school, right? You broke my goods today, so please don't give me an explanation. Let's go, I'll go find your teacher!"
Guo Jingyu stopped him and asked, "Are you really a fossil?"
"of course!"
"Bring it to me to see."
The man gave Guo Jingyu some of the biggest stones, but still stared at the student and wouldn't let him go.
Guo Jingyu glanced at it and saw that the so-called fossil was fake. The artificial traces were too obvious to fool people, and there were several cracks on it.
The man boasted: "This is a shale fossil, you see, this layer by layer is very rare. I went up the mountain to mine it myself! Last time, a great professor came and bought some in one go! It is said that there are some inside. I don't know what trilobites are."
Li Tongzhou stood aside, glanced at it and said, "Shale and fossils are two different things. Generally, the probability of discovery is very low, and you have traces of plant leaves on it."
The man pretended not to understand, "Really, I don't recognize it either. I thought it was a bug's leg. The lower it is, the more precious it is. Three hundred yuan is very cheap."
Guo Jingyu looked at the puppy at the man's feet that was licking the wound, and said to him, "Three hundred yuan, I'll take one, and you give me your dog."
The man opened his mouth to speak, but Guo Jingyu said first: "Almost all right, you are a plant fossil, and you collected it on the mountain yourself. This kind of fossil is everywhere, and its scientific research value and collection value are not great. The price is not worth it.”
The man thought for a moment and said, "The one your classmate broke, you have to accompany me for another eighty yuan."
Guo Jingyu nodded, "Okay."
Guo Jingyu gave the money and picked a stone at random. The man untied the rope from the horse tie, and held the puppy by the neck. A scab was covered with blood, and the little boy looked chubby, but the fur was soft to the touch, but he was actually quite thin.
The male classmate on the side wanted to pay him money, so he shouted "Senior", Guo Jingyu waved his hand and said, "I will keep a memory in the future, don't go to see stalls like this, there are a lot of scammers outside. ."
Guo Jingyu went back with the puppy, went to the inn and asked the boss for a pot of hot water and a pair of scissors.
Li Tongzhou brought a small medicine box with him and helped Guo Jingyu clean and treat the puppy's wounds. He didn't know if he had been beaten too many times. No matter how Guo Jingyu and the others played with it, they didn't see any resistance from the puppy. trembling. Guo Jingyu hugged it and coaxed it while wiping it dry. Li Tongzhou acted neatly, smeared some anti-inflammatory powder on it, and wrapped it in a bandage. The weather was cold, and he was not afraid of covering the infection, so it was more hygienic to bandage it.
Guo Jingyu went downstairs and bought two ham sausages for him to eat.
The little cub was very fierce when he was eating, he buried his head and ate violently, without raising his head at all, making a "gugu" sound in his throat, and the food was particularly delicious.
Guo Jingyu squatted aside to look at it, reached out and touched it, the puppy shook, but it was still eating.
Guo Jingyu gently touched its head again before letting go.
Li Tongzhou said, "Jing Yu, the fossils that person sold should be fake."
Guo Jingyu stood up and said lazily, "Who said it was fake? I saw it very clearly, what he sold was real, you can testify for me later, what he said is a set of tricks, our group of people But you heard, he sells 'shale fossils'!"
Li Tongzhou was a little puzzled, but immediately saw Guo Jingyu calling the police.
If it's just a scam, because the amount is too small, at most it will be confiscated and criticized on the spot, but it's different for reselling fossils. National regulations stipulate that fossil sales are not allowed, and it is illegal to resell privately, not to mention that the man has been Insisting that he went up the mountain to mine it yourself—even more sin.
The police car came very quickly, probably because the man often sells things in this area because he is corrupting others, and he has never been reported. When the police came, he joined the past to join in the fun. Seeing what happened, he was cut back just after he passed. Handcuffed and taken away.
After dinner in the evening, Ms. Jin learned about this, and immediately called all the classmates to have a serious meeting. She also reflected on herself at the class meeting, "Starting tomorrow, everyone will work in groups, and don't run around. The leader of the group leads and manages the discipline."
The seated classmates sparsely shouted "OK".
Teacher Jin took another look, clicked on the name of the boy whose money was almost corrupted, and took the money from his pocket and said, "Wait a while, you can send the money to Guo Jingyu..."
The boy waved his hands again and again: "Teacher, I'm ready. I didn't have enough money in the afternoon. Now that I have it, I'll give it to Senior Guo in a while!"
Teacher Jin nodded and said, "That's fine. Next time, you must remember the lesson and don't be too playful. There will be more opportunities for you to go out to study in the future, so be careful."
The male classmate agreed, made a verbal review, and then ran to give money to Guo Jingyu.
When he arrived at the small hotel, Guo Jingyu was lying on the rattan chair under the tree in the yard, rocking back and forth like an old man, leisurely and comfortable. He was still holding the cub in his arms, fearing that it would catch a cold, Guo Jingyu wrapped his coat tightly in his arms and discussed with Li Tongzhou on the side what to name the puppy.
