In the early morning of the next day, Jiang Heng dressed neatly, and when he arrived at the main room, he raised his hands and greeted Mrs. Zhao respectfully. After eating, he saw that Geng Shu was still holding a sword and wandering in the front yard.
"Let's take leave today!" Jiang Heng reminded hurriedly, "No need to practice, let's go! Let's play."
"I said he also took leave?" Mrs. Zhao said coldly.
Geng Shu looked at Jiang Heng, and then at Mrs. Zhao. Jiang Heng hurriedly turned around and hesitated to speak, but found that Mrs. Zhao was not carrying a bamboo ruler. After being trained for so many years, Jiang Heng had already lived as a roundworm in his mother's stomach. His eyes lit up and he laughed. .
Mrs. Zhao said coldly: "Have a day off, my mother is going out today, if you dare to collude and sneak out, you can do it by yourself."
Jiang Heng was busy saluting. Mrs. Zhao changed her clothes, and her own car came to pick it up at the door. Granny Wei held a box, which contained Jiang Heng's reed paper. The article in this half-month, followed to get into the car, the door was hung with a copper lock. , Jiang Heng sighed in relief.
"Come on," Jiang Heng took Geng Shu to the East Wing Courtyard, pulled him onto the swing, rolled up his sleeves, and said, "I'll push you, and you'll push me later."
Geng Shu: "..."
Geng Shu looked dull and did not refuse. He was pushed a few times by Jiang Heng. Jiang Heng's entertainment on weekdays was nothing more than swinging on the swings, feeding the fish, digging a few earthworms in the yard, and catching a few fireflies in the summer night. , put it in the tent to see. Geng Shu was pushed involuntarily, his expression full of contempt and sarcasm.
"Stop." Geng Shu said.
"Are you afraid?" Jiang Heng said, "Then don't swing too high..."
Geng Shu got impatient, stepped on the swing, turned over in the air, and turned a somersault. Jiang Heng was so frightened that he let out a loud cry, only to see Geng Shu climbed up the tree like a monkey, clambering on the branches. , to get to the branch, and then step on the high wall.
Jiang Heng suddenly widened his eyes in shock, raised his head on the ground, and looked at Geng Shu.
Geng Shu climbed the branch with one hand, looked out of the high wall, lowered his head and said, "Come up."
Jiang Heng said: "I can't get up! The ladder is locked by Wei Wei! What did you see?"
Geng Shu said inexplicably, "Climbing a tree!"
Jiang Heng: "No..."
Geng Shu slid down the tree trunk and pulled Jiang Heng to climb the tree. Jiang Heng tried his best to suck up, but he couldn't climb up, only to see Geng Shu go up and down a few times, completely desperate.
In the end, Geng Shu had to say, "I carry you, hold you tight."
Jiang Heng hugged Geng Shu and strangled him to the point where he was almost out of breath. Geng Shu was almost strangled to death, so he hurriedly put one hand under his rib and wrapped the other around his shoulder, waited for him to hold steady, and led him up the tree. .
"Wow." Jiang Heng saw the bright spring sun outside the wall, the willow leaves flying in the streets and alleys, and the eaves of several houses to the east, there is the market, the market is full of people, and the carriages come and go.
Geng Shu asked Jiang Heng to stand firm, but he was looking westward. He frowned and said to himself, "Why are there so many barracks? Is there going to be a war?"
Jiang Heng followed Geng Shu's gaze and saw that outside the plain in the west of the city, there were many military camps on the large plain beside the Xunshui River, and replied: "Pinglu is easy to move, and the right back is high, before death and after life, here is the army of Pinglu."
"What do you mean?" Geng Shu said, "Who said that?"
"Grandson," Jiang Heng replied, "the marching chapter."
Geng Shu motioned for Jiang Heng to come with him, spread out his arms, and walked along the high wall. Jiang Heng stood at the top of the wall, which was less than six inches wide, and felt his legs were weak. Geng Shu looked back, but had no choice but to come and lead him away . Leaving the high wall and reaching the roof of the main room, the two of them sat on the roof, with the spring breeze blowing on their faces and a wide view.
"If only I could go out one day." Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu said boredly, "Where do you want to go? Is your home not good?"
Jiang Heng said: "I want to see the sea. I want to see the sea the most in my life. The so-called 'the sea is vast and the sky is long', and my favorite is the 'sea'."
Geng Shu said, "Since you haven't been there, how can you say you like it?"
"The kind of love in a dream." Jiang Heng replied, "The books say that the vicissitudes of life must be beautiful."
"I'll take you to see the sea. Is my grandson Sun Bin?" Geng Shu suddenly asked Jiang Heng.
"It's Sun Wu." Jiang Heng explained the difference between Sun Wu and Sun Bin, Geng Shu nodded and said, "Tell me more."
Jiang Heng recited a few articles on Sun Tzu's Art of War to Geng Shu, and explained it to him in detail. He thought that Geng Shu would only be bored, but Geng Shu listened very carefully. Jiang Heng said, "Do you understand?"
"I don't know," Geng Shu said, "it's too laborious to go around."
Jiang Heng said: "Learn inferences from one case, draw parallels by analogy, read the whole article and then slowly comprehend it, and then you will understand."
Geng Shu said: "I can't read, I can't read."
Jiang Heng said, "Go, go to the study, I'll teach you now."
However, Geng Shu waved his hand to indicate that there was no need. He quickly walked to the front of the roof and jumped down. Jiang Heng said, "Be careful of falling to your death!"
Geng Shu raised the corner of his robe and disappeared behind the corridor. Jiang Heng stretched his neck to look at it. He saw that Geng Shu took a pen, reed paper, and ink cartridges. Hold on, the whole person will fly over.
Jiang Heng was dumbfounded, only to realize that the family couldn't keep Geng Shu at all.
"Be careful." Jiang Heng said.
Geng Shu: "In the past in Anyang, the palace was all on the mountain, and it was much harder to climb than this."
Jiang Heng said, "Is Anyang the Anyang in the book? It used to be the other palace of the emperor of Jin."
Geng Shu put the paper on the roof and said, "I don't know. Teach it."
Jiang Heng wrote on the paper and taught "Heaven".
"Well, God." Geng Shu looked sideways, picked up the reed paper and looked at the sun, and said, "What else?"
"Earth." Jiang Heng wrote again, Geng Shu nodded, changed the third piece of paper, and said, "Come again, I will remember."
"Invincible begins with the sacrifice of ancestors"
"People." Jiang Heng put the three pieces of paper together and said, "The weather is not as good as the location, and the location is not as good as the people."
Geng Shu's expression did not change, but there was a bright smile in his eyes, as if he had seen some treasure. Jiang Heng explained the meaning of this sentence to him again, taught him to hold a pen, and let Geng Shu write word by word. Geng Shu was lying on his stomach, and Jiang Heng was sitting cross-legged.
"Mountains have trees and trees have branches," Geng Shu said, "how do you write this sentence?"
Jiang Heng said, "Where did you hear that?"
Geng Shu didn't answer, just raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Heng, Jiang Heng wrote it down on the paper, Geng Shu wrote it stroke by stroke, Jiang Heng cut the reed paper into small pieces, and gave him one of them Look, ask, "What word?"
"Wood." Geng Shu's memory is also very good, Jiang Heng changed another one and said, "What word?"
"sky."
Geng Shu turned over and lay on the tiled roof. Jiang Heng took them one by one and asked him about them. Some were right and some were wrong. Jiang Heng sorted the ones that were right into one stack, and replaced the ones he couldn't remember. , Geng Shu recognized it for a while, then rolled over and lay on his side again.
"Let's go down." Jiang Heng was worried, always afraid that Geng Shu would fall along the roof, but Geng Shu said, "What are you afraid of?"
"I want to eat dim sum..." Jiang Heng said, "Mother Wei made glutinous rice dumplings."
Geng Shu rolled over and threw a food box full of glutinous rice balls up a moment later, holding a pot in his mouth and handing it to him after he came up, Jiang Heng had to stay on the roof to eat snacks and teach Geng Shu to read.
"Teach me some more," Geng Shu said after sorting out the stack of square sheets in his hand, "It's too little."
"I can't remember too much," Jiang Heng said, dipping in peanut bran and chewing on glutinous rice balls, enjoying the great satisfaction and happiness of sneaking around in this spring afternoon.
Jiang Heng has forgotten when he was literate. It seems that since he was a child, he has never been able to read. Ever since he can remember, he has been stacking bamboo slips in the players and asked Mrs. Zhao what these crooked things are, His mother told him that it was a "book" and asked him to sit up straight and read it to him once, and Jiang Heng would get to know it a little bit.
Geng Shu held the writing paper in his right hand, and put his left hand around Jiang Heng to prevent him from slipping off the tile roof. to touch.
Jiang Heng laughed and wanted to grab Geng Shu's hand, but Geng Shu stopped touching it and covered the place with his left hand.
"How do you write your name?" Geng Shu suddenly asked, "What about mine?"
Jiang Heng wrote the word "Heng" and then the word "Shu" to show Geng Shu that he put the two away separately. Jiang Heng ate some snacks and said, "Go down, I'm afraid my mother will come back."
"I'm staring," Geng Shu began to review the words he recognized today, and said, "It's not that fast, where did they go?"
"Go to the government," Jiang Heng said, "please read my article sir."
Geng Shu said "um", Jiang Heng said, "I will bring me something delicious when I come back."
"What do you like to eat?" Geng Shu said.
Jiang Hengdao: "Fried fruit, or sugar man, and salted plums and sour plums in summer."
Geng Shu stiffened again, sat up, built a pergola with his hands, looked into the distance like a bird, and said, "You like to eat fried fruits."
"Mother doesn't let me eat more, I'm too angry." Jiang Heng said, noting that a red rope was tied around Geng Shu's neck, exposing a small half of the edge of the jade, so he leaned over and touched the back of his neck, Pulled Yujue out and looked at it, then put it back again.
Geng Shu just glanced at Jiang Heng sideways, but still didn't say a word, but Jiang Heng read a little warmth in Geng Shu's eyes, as if something had changed between them after last night.
"It's there," Geng Shu said, "I'll get you some."
"We don't have money," Jiang Heng said, "how do we get it?"
There is a shop selling fried fruits at the end of the alley. The owner holds a frying pan and is frying and selling them. The fragrant dough is filled with bean paste. After the pan is fried, it is golden and sweet, sprinkled with sesame seeds and crushed peanuts, and dressed with bamboo sticks. A string of three, a penny a string, Jiang Heng was talking, and he was already drooling.
"Just take it while he turns around."
"That's stealing," Jiang Heng said. "If you don't tell yourself to take it, you're a thief, you can't do it."
Geng Shu was a little impatient and said, "Don't train me!"
Jiang Heng said solemnly: "If someone takes your things, you will definitely be so angry, don't do what you want to others."
Geng Shu glanced at Jiang Heng and stopped talking. He picked up the teapot and took a sip. The two of them didn't put their cups aside and just drank from the teapot. Geng Shu said, "Are you hungry?"
"Go down and eat." Jiang Heng looked at the sun, it was time for lunch. Geng Shu climbed down again, and at the end, took the food box that Wei Wei left them and turned it up, and stopped obviously.
"What's the matter?" Jiang Heng said.
"Bird." Geng Shu said from under the eaves, "Do you eat bird eggs?"
Jiang Heng turned pale and said, "Don't eat their eggs, it's too pitiful!"
Geng Shu had already taken out the egg, but after hearing Jiang Heng's words, he had to put it back again, and came up with a bored face, and said, "This won't work, that won't work either, long-winded."
Jiang Heng was not annoyed, just smiled. A moment later, the owner of the egg nest flew over, and Jiang Heng broke some biscuits to feed them, and said to himself, "God has the virtue of good life, and others live well, isn't it good?"
Geng Shu also broke some cakes to feed the two birds, but the birds didn't avoid people, they ate them one by one, and pecked Geng Shu's hand twice to show intimacy, just now Geng Shuruo took out all the eggs, Ruining their family, it is estimated that the two birds will be crying endlessly at this time.
After lunch, the two children threw the food box aside, Jiang Heng was already a little sleepy, leaned beside Geng Shu, basked in the sun, and took a nap. Geng Shu was still sitting on the roof, he turned his leg to stop Jiang Heng, let him rest on his lap so as not to slide down, leaned on the cornice, and read the stack of words over and over.
"Jiang Heng, Heng'er, Geng, Geng Shu." Geng Shu took their name papers, whispered, glanced at Jiang Heng, and then pulled out other papers, "There are trees in the mountains, and there are branches in the trees..."
"I'm back." At sunset, Geng Shu saw the carriage, shook Jiang Heng, and led him down. Jiang Heng fell into a daze, and was taken back to his room by Geng Shu, lying on the bed, while Geng Shu packed up the pieces of paper and sat on the patio outside Jiang Heng's bedroom, pretending to sit here all afternoon.
However, Mrs. Zhao didn't even look at him, she just walked across the front yard and entered the main room under Geng Shu's tentative gaze. Granny Wei glanced at Geng Shu, saw the paper in his hand, nodded, and turned back to the backyard to prepare dinner.
"Mother!" Jiang Heng woke up, ran in a gust of wind, and said, "Did you buy me something to eat?"
An angrily shouted in the hall: "Go away!"
Jiang Heng was frightened, Geng Shu put away the paper, got up and went to the main room, only to hear Mrs. Zhao's stern rebuke: "What else do you know besides eating?!"
Jiang Heng took a half step back, wondering why his mother suddenly became so angry, and hurriedly said, "I, I, I, I just ask..."
Mrs. Zhao said angrily: "Let you read and write articles, and do it to the dog! Look at yourself! You have such a virtue rolling in the mud! How can you ever look like the young master of the Jiang family! Tomorrow, I will kill someone and kill me with a knife. You little beggar!" As he spoke, he came up and pinched Jiang Heng's ears. Jiang Heng was caught off guard and lay on the roof all day, his body was dirty, and he wanted to hide immediately, but Mrs. Zhao's fingers pinched her ears and she was slapped again. With a slap, he suddenly cried out in pain.
"I was wrong!" Jiang Heng cried, "Mother, I was wrong! Stop fighting!"
Years of experience told Jiang Heng that he had to cry in grief first, and then fell to the ground softly and bluffed, and then it would not be easy to be beaten again.
However, Geng Shu didn't care about anything else, and immediately stepped into the main room to pull Jiang Heng away, but Granny Wei came from behind, stopped Mrs. Zhao with a gesture, and pushed Geng Shu out, so as not to add fuel to the fire. Only then did Mrs. Zhao let go of her hand, Jiang Heng covered her ears and stumbled away crying.
Geng Shu stood in front of the porch and wanted to catch up, but Jiang Heng entered the room depressed and fell on the quilt.
