Chapter 244 For
"My mother is very hospitable." Manbao thought it was normal for her to invite friends to stay at her home.
Bai Shanbao didn't know what to say for a moment. After thinking for a while, he put down his snacks and ran to the bookshelf to look for a book. After a while, he found a thin book and whispered, "This is my father's childhood diary. Don't tell anyone."
Manbao cried out and leaned over to take a look, only to find that the cover was empty, with only a thick layer of cardboard pasted on it. When he opened it, he saw bound paper with very childish words on it.
Bai Shanbao said, "I found this in a miscellaneous book called 'Secret History of the Former Dynasty.' My grandmother said it was written by some people in the folk, ninety percent false and one percent true, so it's hard to believe. But I think it's still very interesting as a story."
In fact, it was Liu who didn't let him read such books, fearing that it would change his temperament. However, she allowed him to read miscellaneous notes that focused on local customs and geography.
But this kind of story was obviously made up, full of love, hate and vengeance, so she did not allow him to read it. She even searched the study and found any books of this kind that were missed and put them back into the bookcase.
But after reading the beginning of this book, Bai Shanbao felt itchy and couldn't help but search for it again when his grandmother went to visit Bai Erlang's house next door. This time, he found the notebook tucked away at the end.
The book was very thick and wide, and this notebook was obviously bound by itself, so it was a little small and could not be seen at all when it was tucked in the back.
As soon as Bai Shanbao discovered the notebook, he was no longer curious about the book and ran away with the notebook.
This was originally his secret. This notebook was his father's notebook from when he was a child. He hadn't even told his grandmother and mother about it. But now he took it out and showed it to Manbao, whispering, "Look."
Bai Shanbao is so naughty, and Zheng is so gentle, so it is very likely that his father Bai Qi must also be a naughty person.
This is indeed the case. When Bai Qi was a child, he was even more noisy than Bai Shanbao.
When he was seven years old and visited someone else's house, he dared to imitate the adults and kiss beautiful girls. Of course, in the end he was beaten by Liu, and the beating was quite bad.
"My father said that if you kiss a girl, your grandmother will beat you. The Book of Rites also says that men and women are different and should keep a distance from each other."
Of course, this was not said by Bai Shanbao. He could not understand such profound books as "Book of Rites". This was written in a line of small characters in the notes. Looking at the neat small characters, it was obvious that Bai Qi saw this diary after he grew up and rewrote the comments.
The two of them put their little heads together to peek at their ancestors' diaries, saying that they should keep a distance, but it was obvious that they didn't take it to heart.
The diary covers a lot of things. It is Bai Qi's diary from the age of seven to ten. There are many things recorded. Of course, it is impossible to record it every day. Basically, he only writes when something big happens to him.
For example, he was beaten by Liu; for example, he received praise from the teacher; for example, he got into a fight with others in the school and overturned the teacher's desk...
When Mr. Bai walked over here, he saw two children huddled together reading a book, talking quietly and laughing at the same time. He didn't know what was so interesting about the book that made them so happy reading it.
Mr. Bai stared at Bai Shanbao.
In fact, he is very similar to Bai Qi, but he looks better than his father and is smarter.
Because of the good relationship between their fathers, although the two families are a bit distant, he and Bai Qi are very good friends.
They were of similar age, so they went to school together. At that time, Bai Li's family also lived in Longzhou. His father moved back from Mianzhou specifically for him, wanting him to attend the clan school so that he could make a name for himself.
He still likes studying very much, but his grades are not very good.
Bai Qi was just the opposite. He didn't like reading much when he was a child and was even more naughty, but he was very smart. When it came to memorizing the same thing, he needed to read it more than ten times before he could remember it, but Bai Qi could remember it after reading it three or four times.
It's just that he was lazy, so when they were young, they were not the teacher's favorite students, until their father passed away one after another.
The two of them were always bullied when they were studying in the clan school, so Bai Qi gradually stopped being lazy. He was still very scary when he was serious. From the age of ten, his progress improved by leaps and bounds, and he even took Master Bai a step further.
Bai Shanbao is obviously a little more capable than his father because he really likes reading.
Mr. Bai could see that at least no child could stay in the study for a whole day without an adult supervising him.
It would be a shame if such a talented person could not make further progress.
Mr. Bai stood there for a long time, then turned to find Liu and asked, "Aunt, have you made up your mind?"
Liu looked at him, "What about you?"
"My nephew is willing to go to the county and meet Lord Wei in person."
The Buddhist beads in Liu's hand slid quickly, and after a while she said, "Okay, go ahead."
This means agreeing to hand the person over to Wei Zhi.
Mr. Bai breathed a sigh of relief, bowed and retreated.
As soon as Mr. Bai left, Liu got up and went to the yard where the three people were imprisoned.
Daji was there too.
The two people who were electrocuted haven't seen anyone since they woke up. They can hear the sound of footsteps outside and see the figures walking back and forth, but no one comes into the house to pay attention to them.
The two were imprisoned separately. When they woke up, they were alone in the room, their hands and feet tied, their mouths blocked, with no food and no water. After a day, they were both extremely weak, and this unknown situation made them very depressed.
So when the door was opened, the person lying on the ground had a light in his eyes, and he tried to raise his head to look at the person standing at the door.
No matter whether they are killed or cut, at least someone cares about them.
Against the light, the people lying on the ground saw Liu, were stunned for a moment, and then instantly realized that their actions had been exposed.
The room was empty, with nothing in it. Daji brought a chair from outside for Liu to sit on.
Liu sat on a chair, looking down at the man lying on the ground. She took the tea offered by Daji and took a sip. Seeing the man's eyes glow red and his throat move several times, she held the teacup and asked, "Would you like some water?"
The other party nodded vigorously.
"Then let me ask you a question," Liu leaned forward slightly, staring into his eyes and asked, "Who sent you?"
The other party immediately fell to the ground and did not respond.
Seeing this, Liu turned around and sat down. After taking a sip of water, she said, "It seems you don't want to talk about it. Then forget it. Just be thirsty for another day."
After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave.
He didn't expect her to leave so easily, so he struggled violently and whimpered.
Liu turned around and looked at him coldly.
Daji asked, "Do you think we will let you live?"
The other person's pupils shrank.
Daji said, "There are many ways to live, and there are many ways to die. Killing with a knife is certainly a relief, but what if you die of starvation or thirst?"
