It couldn't be sold, and it couldn't be sold at a high price. Now that it has to eat expensive spiritual rice, it might be even 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 by itself, returned to him honestly, and actually crawled back into the nest, that is, into the metal jar.
Yu Qing had a toothache. What does it mean that this expensive thing came back after it had already run away? It didn't run away even though it was 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 person who travels alone in the world and occasionally sleeps in the mountains and forests at night, the '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 spit out sparks to help you light the fire.
Without the rope, it is no longer convenient to carry 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 use sound training 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.
"Big head, cry."
Upon hearing this sound, 'Big Head' will crawl out of the jar again, jump into the pile of firewood and spit 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' can actually have the effect of being a vigilant sentry.
Because of his natural insecurity and his high vigilance when in the underground space, which can be said to be his nature, he will immediately alert him if 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 only 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. It really seems 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.
He didn't dare to completely push it away for fear of being recognized. He also felt that he might be overthinking and no one would be able to recognize him, but he 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-sufficiency. A woman wearing a headscarf squats in the vegetable plot to peel vegetables. The vegetable skin can be peeled off and eaten. When the young leaves inside grow up, you can continue to peel off and eat it. When the cabbage heart grows up, you can cut it off and peel it for cooking.
The bamboo forest courtyard is very elegant, and the inside is also very clean. The walls of the house are also well painted. The entire courtyard is neat and tidy, not as 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 modest property in the city. Later, because his father liked the elegance and tranquility of this place, he sold his 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 surprised, 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 in a hurry.
He took off his headscarf, quickly wiped the mud on his hands, smoothed his hair, and pulled his 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 came back, and the two never saw each other again.
Seeing the beauty again, Mr. Ming also felt as if he was dreaming. The gentle and charming 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 helped 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 hand.
As soon as he saw Mr. Ming standing next to Mrs. Ming, he immediately grabbed a stick to beat her.
"Get out of here, you thief! Don't bully our family. My son has gone 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 let the old lady 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, all hoping that Mr. Ming would 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 Yamen 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. Ming family.
Those who have young scholars at home also protect this place and count on Mr. Ming in case of emergency.
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 big shot with extraordinary achievements.
Especially this time, Mr. Ming trained Huiyuan Lang with perfect scores in four subjects, and the news spread throughout his hometown like thunder, adding to his illustrious statement.
When his wife mentioned the matter of 'Ashiheng', Mr. Ming was speechless.
On the way, he also heard about 'Ashiheng''s resignation, and felt sad. It turned out that what the person who asked him to go back to help with the exam was indeed true. 'Ashiheng' really didn't care about those people with any kind of fame. Interest, pity 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 group of government officials came to support him and made acquaintance with him politely.
In the days that followed, Mrs. Ming, who was wrapped up in the glory of her husband's return home, almost never lost her smile. 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 sitting down with Mr. Ming, the old man smiled and asked, "Does Yuan Cheng still recognize Lao Cheng?"
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. It's been so many years in the blink of an eye."
"Disrespect, disrespect." Mr. Ming quickly stood up and bowed like a master before him.
The old gentleman waved his hand repeatedly, motioning for him to sit down, and then sighed: "I can still remember the subject of your subject. Yuan Cheng, did you know that you were the Jie Yuan of that provincial examination?"
Mr. Ming smiled slightly. He had heard too much flattery in the past few days and was numb. He said politely: "My lord, that's ridiculous."
"No!" The old gentleman waved his hand again and stroked his beard and said: "It's not that I'm making ridiculous comments, 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 referee has read your article and cherishes your talent. He said that you are so frivolous and will definitely bring 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!"
