The Master approached Chen Nong alone.
"I remember you liked reading extracurricular books when you were a child."
Chen Nong never expected that at today's age, he would be in the embarrassing situation of being publicly executed.
He was extremely embarrassed, but could not get angry at his enlightenment teacher, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.
The Master said, "I have an important responsibility. You can try it."
A piece of origami was put into Chen Nong's hand, and the master patted him on the shoulder, "This is an opportunity."
Chen Nong didn't understand, but still leaned over to thank him.
Return home.
Chen Nong first took his daughter to visit his wife who was ill in bed.
Seeing his wife crying with joy, but looking more energetic than in the morning, he was also happy, so he left the space for mother and daughter, and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine he bought.
While making the medicine, he remembered the request from the waiter at the drug store. Chen Nong slapped his head. He couldn't be a person who broke his word. What's more, it wasn't the waiter who invited him to visit Si Ye Mansion. With his skeptical attitude towards Si Ye Mansion, he was afraid that he would not be able to pick up his daughter in time.
Chen Nong planned to say hello to his wife and daughter first, then go to the drug store to pass a message to the waiter. None\./Error\./Update\./New`.w`.a`.p`.`.c`.o`.m
When he returned to the room, he saw that his wife, who was bedridden, had actually gotten out of bed, and she was no longer as weak as before while holding her daughter while talking.
"A Liang, are you okay?" Chen Nong was surprised and happy.
Mrs. Chen was angry, "Mei'er gave me medicine from Siye Mansion. She said that these medicines were provided by Siye Mansion for free to help people survive the disaster."
Chen Nong looked at his wife's rosy face, and his tone lost confidence, "There is no good thing in the world that doesn't cost money, let alone Siye Mansion..." Facing the gazes of his wife and daughter, Chen Nong had some words that he couldn't say anymore, so he changed the subject. He said, "I am narrow-minded. I promised the waiter at the drug store that I would send him a message. I will come back as soon as I go."
Mrs. Chen did not dwell on her husband's mistakes and explained: "Now that we are out, let's go to Si Ye Mansion to have a look. Mei'er said that every suffering citizen can receive a copy of the medicine. If there are too many people in Si Ye Mansion, it will be inconvenient. , you can also go to the government office to get it."
Chen Nong agreed and went out.
He first went to the drug store to deliver the news to the waiter. After the waiter learned that there was no younger brother, he was only disappointed for a moment and then regained his energy and said to Chen Nong: "I will find a way to sell you the medicine."
Chen Nong waved his hand: "No, I don't need it anymore."
"Okay." The waiter breathed a sigh of relief.
The shopkeeper opened the curtain and when he saw the two of them, he scolded the waiter angrily: "I invited you here to do work, not to chat with others."
The waiter kept his head down and made a small apology. When the shopkeeper lowered the curtain and went back to the back room, he cursed secretly, "I deserve to have no business, I deserve to not be able to make any money. If Si Ye Mansion didn't recruit pharmacists, why would I still be here?" On."
After saying that, he found that Chen Nong was still where he was, and his expression changed, "You don't talk nonsense, do you?"
Chen Nong quickly shook his head, and then asked the question in his heart, "What do you mean, you have a lot of trust in Siyefu? In the past, Siyefu did not do anything, but this time he is suddenly so charitable, so I am not afraid of a conspiracy."
Instead, the waiter looked at him strangely, "You have too many evil thoughts. If Si Yefu wants to harm people, just ignore this disaster. Why bother?"
Chen Nong thought to himself, maybe he did bad things and wanted a good reputation.
He was walking on the road with a heavy heart, and when he heard that most of the topics discussed by the people passing by were related to Si Ye Mansion, his face became relaxed.
Unconsciously, I arrived at the gate of Siye Mansion again and stood in a long queue to receive medicine.
Bored while waiting in line, he opened the origami paper Fuzi had given him in his sleeve.
At the beginning, I wrote a call for essays, allowing interested writers to write more complete stories for the nursery rhymes below.
Nursery rhyme?
Could it be that the master was joking with him.
Thinking of Master Enlightenment's character, Chen Nong put this thought aside and looked down seriously.
[Grandpa is carrying a big toad on his back and wants to feed it worms...]
Why should a toad be so big that it needs to be carried? It was indeed childish.
Chen Nong laughed, but his heart beat strangely faster. The words seemed to have a strange magic power that grabbed his eyes, making him unable to look away.
[Where are the bugs? ]
The child's clear and innocent questioning voice echoed in my ears.
Where? Where?
[. (The next page is more exciting!)
I looked down and saw that it was myself]
It’s yourself, it’s yourself~
Chen Nong's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and goosebumps covered his arms.
[Grandma yells for dinner~]
Creaking.
The sticky sound of chewing and licking is getting closer and closer, and the child's voice is clear and innocent, responding to the distant mother-in-law's call.
Don't go, don't go.
Chen Nong roared with fear in his heart.
In a trance, I saw innocent children walking towards the monster's big mouth with ignorance and laughter, and finally walked into the darkness and were swallowed up by the long tongue.
Creak, creak, creak——
[It turns out we are rice! ]
The child's song sounded like crying or laughing, accompanied by the sticky sound of chewing and swallowing, echoing from the monster's belly.
"Hello!"
Chen Nong was pushed in the back.
He fell to the ground, his face turned pale, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.
The person behind him was startled, "I didn't use any force, don't try to blackmail me!"
Being looked at with condemnation and suspicion by the people in front and behind him, this man felt even more aggrieved and shouted: "It was because he stood there and refused to move that I pushed him. You can see for yourselves that there is a big gap between him and the one in front of him."
"What's the fuss about? Who's causing trouble?" Du Xingzhi ran over and glared at them.
There was no adult present who looked down upon him. The man quickly pointed at Chen Nong and said, "He wants to blackmail someone!"
Du Xingzhi looked at Chen Nong, "You..."
"Ah——!" Chen Nong, who had not recovered from the erosion of some invisible terrifying aura, suddenly heard the voice of a child close at hand. He held his head and finally let out the panic that had been held in his throat for a long time.
"..." Du Xingzhi was so frightened that he jumped back.
The man behind quickly said: "That's it, he just blackmailed me like this."
Du Xingzhi was about to call someone to punish those who broke the rules when he suddenly saw the paper falling beside Chen Nong.
He picked it up and took a look at it, and understood the reason for Chen Nong's abnormal behavior.
"Why are you adults so cowardly?" Du Xingzhi muttered. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
Two Si Yefu disciples had already rushed to grab Chen Nong's arm. Du Xingzhi raised the paper in his hand and said, "Send him to the clerk's room." After saying that, he stuffed the paper back into Chen Nong's clothes.
Documentary room.
Chen Nong was sent in by the disciples of Si Yefu and saw the Master and several other scholars sitting at the desk.
Chen Nong calmed down a lot when he saw a familiar person.
The Master came over and was not surprised when he saw his face. He whispered, "Have you finished reading that nursery rhyme?"
"..." Chen Nong's expression was at a loss for words, "I haven't finished reading yet."
The Master paused, looked at his face again, and felt worried in his heart: It felt like half of his life had been lost before he finished reading, so what if he could continue reading? But there are too few people on his side who can bear to write it down.
Chen Nong: "Master, I'm afraid that nursery rhyme is different."
The master nodded and told the truth, "Eight of them have been carried out here."
Chen Nong stared at the master in disbelief.
The master explained, "Don't be afraid. If you don't risk your life, you can still get the longevity pill from Siye Mansion as compensation. Those literati are all voluntary. If they don't fail once, they won't be given a second time. After taking the pill, they want to come back and try it again." try."
Chen Nong asked: "The Jushou Pill is a medicine distributed by Si Yefu?"
Master: "Have you not received the medicine yet? What was given out was diluted medicine. Jushou Dan is a better thing."
Chen Nong has been hit many times today and doesn't want to mention his suspicions about Si Yefu again.
The Master did not ask further questions, but when it came to business, he asked, "Are you still doing polishing articles?"
After experiencing the horror just now, Chen Nong was still frightened when he thought about it. His scalp was dripping with sweat. He trembled on his lips and said, "Do it."
The Master, who had already predicted rejection from his expression, was about to persuade him again when the words reached his tongue before he realized what he was hearing.
"Um?"
"I said, do it." Chen Nong shivered and took out the crumpled paper from his clothes, slowly unfolded it and continued to read.
The Master just watched this man who was almost thirty years old swaying, his legs weak and he sat down on the table, his face turned blue as if the half-life he had just recovered had gone, and finally his eyes flashed with tears, and he cried silently. .
. (The next page is more exciting!)
His trembling body made it difficult to tell whether he was afraid or excited.
…
On the table is a thin stack of polished and expanded articles sent by the Master.
Mi August sat over and asked, "Is this all there?"
If she remembered correctly, there were many disciples of Master Hu who were new to him, and he also recruited many literati.
Zhai Ling silently told the story about the nursery rhyme written by Mi Feixue that scared most of the literati into fainting and frightened them.
After listening, Mi August was slightly surprised. The stories written by Xiao Feixue were indeed darker and more metaphorical than those written by ordinary children. In her opinion, this was not a shortcoming, but an advantage. It was easy to impress and catchy. , but not to the extent that it can scare people unconscious.
"Those children also read and learned it, but there was no problem." Mi August said.
The spirit of the house should be, but can't answer the reason.
Mi August was thoughtful, so he picked up the article on the table and read it.
——Mi Feixue’s creative perspective is special and metaphorical. If he wants to be better promoted and accepted and understood by the people, he must write articles with more storytelling.
This is like poetry that has been passed down through the ages, requiring future generations to read and understand a truth.
To Mi August's surprise, he read three articles in a row. In all three articles, he more or less understood the connotation of Mi Feixue's creation and understood her metaphors.
This class of writers was better than she thought.
She put aside the articles with the best reading comprehension and polishing, turned to the last one and just read the beginning to calm down.
"Feng Mingzi"
This was the only one named among the several articles she read.
A premonition that he was about to find a treasure made Mi August raise his eyebrows and continue to look back.
ten minutes later.
Mi August turned back to the first page of the article he had read and found the author's name. \./hand\./machine\./version\./no\./wrong\./first\./post~~
Chen Nong.
This person almost perfectly polished Mi Feixue's nursery rhyme and expanded it into a complete horror story, as if he had experienced everything that happened in Beiyuan City as a bystander, including Wen Jiazi's suffering, Feng Baozi's rescue, It seems that I can empathize with the pain of the children and the fear of the people, and construct it with words.
It's a talent.
It just so happens that Siye Mansion is short of talents right now.
