"I don't know exactly why two children suddenly came in. Maybe it has something to do with the fruit chicken?" Cong'er's mother also shook her head, saying that she didn't know the origin of these two "uninvited" little guests.
"Chicken? I think about it, it seems to be at the foot of the mountain. Along the Guotiao creek, there is a river, but it is just a little way away. Above the river, there is a thick piece of wood that fell into the water a few years ago. It has been there all this time. They have not been washed away. When the water level is lowered, they can still emerge from the water, like a bridge. It is still possible for our children to climb up. Or other village children on the other side of the river can catch up. Our own chickens chased us along the Ligen wooden bridge. They were so good. When the chickens heard that there was a chicken in Lidu, they walked into the next house and croaked!"
Ji Yu thought carefully about the environment around the village, and suddenly remembered the huge "single tree" that only appeared from the river during the dry season. Recently, the water level has dropped, and this natural tree has The "single-plank bridge" formed by the fallen tree, which only children can crawl across, is just exposed. Because of the obstruction of the river, children in the villages on both sides of the river rarely have the opportunity to "visit" each other. However, during this period, this convenient condition is available. Or, the children on the opposite side were originally chasing chickens, and at the same time I was also very curious about the situation here, so I chased them all the way, and then two uninvited "little guests" suddenly appeared.
"That's right! It makes sense." Cong'er's mother nodded in agreement.
As for all the activities that happened in the library and the front yard, a servant had already reported to Cong'er's mother, so she knew everything. But unlike what her children were worried about, she was even more proud of it, because her children were so smart and could learn on their own without a teacher. Even though they had congenital ear problems, they could still understand what others said. , it’s already amazing. What’s more, the fonts in each country are different and so complicated. He can actually identify them one by one, and he can also come up with a "thousands of snakes come out of their holes" style to return the volume. What's wrong with that? Like what a three-year-old child should be able to do?
So she told the servants to just observe quietly and tell her what happened. They should not interfere or disturb any of the children's actions and let them do whatever they wanted.
"Sir, I want to go out and check on my two children. If they are not far away, can you please invite them to come to our house to sit and drink tea and make friends?" Ji Yu wanted to make up for it. I regretted not inviting the children in just now, and wanted to confirm whether my guess was correct, so I asked my husband for instructions on how to invite the two children back.
"Yeah! You go first!" Cong'er's mother agreed, "Be careful!"
Ji Yu bent down to salute, exited the study, turned around and chased the two children.
After all, it was a mountain road that he was familiar with. Ji Yu was very familiar with how to walk to the river, not to mention that the boy walking with his little sister could not walk too fast anyway, so soon, the two children appeared. appeared in his field of vision.
"Hey - wait a minute!" Ji Yu shouted first, then saw the two children stopped and looked back, then quickly quickened his pace and ran over.
"Ding? What's the matter?" The young man was very alert. He hugged the big red rooster that he had finally recovered with one hand and pulled his sister behind him with the other hand.
"Don't be nervous! That's the case. My husband heard that there are guests coming to our company, but I failed to fulfill the friendship of the landlord. It is really rude! In addition, our village is so remote that no one usually comes to visit, so Let me invite you two back to my house, have a cup of tea, and relax. Besides, you and I are about the same age, so we can make friends. I don’t know you two, but you have a lot of time at home, so follow me. Would you like to sit down for a while?" Ji Yu walked up to the young man, bowed his hands and saluted, and said that he wanted to invite them back to have a cup of tea, chat, and make friends, so that he could have the opportunity to show his kindness as a landlord. .
The young man looked up at the sky. It was still early. He looked at his little sister again and saw that Ji Yun's attitude was sincere. After thinking about it, he nodded: "What's your name?"
"My surname is Ji Mingyuan. Yan Ying is my father. He is ten years old this year and is being taught by my husband. You just joined my husband's house. It was my husband who asked me to invite you. Welcome. I'm a guest!" After Ji Yu answered seriously, he also asked, "May I ask you and your sister's names and how can I address them?"
"My name is Shang You. My father is Shang Rong. I am twelve years old and I am studying with my father. My sister is my sister. My name is Shang Wu and I am eight years old." The young man also answered seriously.
If the "father Shang Rong" he is talking about is the famous minister "Shang Rong" in charge of rituals and music during the late Shang Dynasty and King Zhou of Yin, then these two children are not ordinary people. With such a family background, they must be I have had the opportunity to learn poetry and calligraphy since I was a child, and I am proficient in etiquette and music, but how can I connect with these two chicken-chasing kids who are agile and have the courage to explore?
"Please come with me!" Ji Yu had only heard some stories about Shang Rong from his husband. He didn't expect to have the opportunity to meet his family. He was full of excitement and wanted to hear the stories quickly. , happily led the way, took the two children, and retraced their steps back to the husband's home.
The big red rooster whose wings were held by Shang You had calmed down at this time. The fur on its neck like a little lion had long been smoothed down, and now it looked like a pet chicken. No matter how the boy took it, it would just keep spinning around. No matter how the boy ran or jumped, it still maintained an amazing balance.
It must be wondering: "Going back again? Do you still want me to fight with it again to determine the winner?"
Ji Yu knew that this fighting cock still had ambitions. When it returned to the front yard and saw the big chicken coop again, it made a "clucking" sound in its throat, and there was a look in its eyes that said, "I'm going to do it again." I'm back." I want to challenge again. Therefore, as soon as he entered the courtyard, he asked his servant to find a separate shack so that this "navigating cock" could rest alone.
Another big rooster in the chicken shed in the front yard that had just fought also responded to his opponent's "war" with a low cry from his throat. He had no choice but to be locked in the chicken coop. This time he flew away. Not coming out anymore, he was very dissatisfied that "there is no place for heroes", so he flapped his big wings in the chicken coop, chased and pecked a few innocent chickens nearby, got into the chicken coop, and made a fuss for no reason. Helpless, these are no match for it, they all hide when they can. After a few commotions, the place became quiet.
Hey, that chicken must be thinking: "It's so lonely to be invincible! I finally found an opponent today, but I didn't even play a few rounds before he was destroyed by someone. What a pity!"
The two "fighting cocks" who had fought each other once today had no choice but to use their chicken language to comfort each other by "clucking and clucking" at a distance.
As the saying goes, "No acquaintance without fighting", this is true for chickens, let alone people?
