Chapter 156 Hsinchu School
"The sky and earth are dark yellow,"
"The universe is vast."
"The sun and the moon wax and wane,"
"The stars are spread out in a row."
In the house built under the big tree on the west side of the village, there is a simple wooden plaque hanging at the door, with the four characters "Hsinchu School" written in ink. The characters are very neat and tidy. A strong voice came from inside, and after reading a sentence, a child's voice followed suit.
"Okay, follow me and write these words." After reading these sentences, Village Chief Gu pasted the pre-written paper on the stand so that everyone sitting below could see it.
Then he used a branch to point out the order of the strokes.
Sitting inside were children from the village, most of them were over three years old and under twelve years old, both boys and girls, with only a few teenagers around thirteen or fourteen sitting quietly in the back.
There were ten long tables in the classroom, which was neither too big nor too small. Four people could sit side by side at each table. Village Chief Gu counted them and found that there were eighteen people.
Each person's table has a frame on top, which is the same size as the table. When you push open the board on top, you'll see sand inside, with a scraper and a branch next to it.
This is done without pen or ink. You just need to use a scraper to scrape the sand, flatten it, and erase the words written on it.
Liu Yuelai and Liu Xiaoyu sat side by side with Wang Huan, looking at the words on the page very carefully and writing them down.
Wang Huan looked around and didn't see any familiar faces. He took advantage of the discussion time to ask Liu Xiaoyu next to him.
Liu Xiaoyu: "Uncle Dafu can read, so Brother Daquan is learning to read at home and not with us."
Wang Huan just arrived today. He caught a cold a few days ago and just felt a little better today. Then his father called him to come and study with his brothers.
Guozi and Xuanyu sat together with Gu Qingming.
A few days ago, Village Chief Gu taught everyone how to write their names, or how to write the names of their family members.
Liu Yuelai studied very seriously, after all, he had to teach what he learned today to Sister Juanhua and Sister Xiaoque. He originally wanted them to come back with him, but Sister Juanhua and Sister Xiaoque were a little embarrassed, saying that they were too old to sit and study with the children in the village, so they could only ask Liu Yuelai to do it.
Village Chief Gu taught very carefully. In just a few days, I learned a lot of words and learned a lot of great truths that I had never heard before. I felt that my horizons had been broadened a lot.
"Okay, this time everyone should go back and memorize a few sentences. Also, starting from tomorrow our classes will be scheduled in the afternoon, at 5 p.m. The weather is getting colder, so remember to dress well and don't catch a cold."
"it is good."
Everyone answered in unison, then dispersed in twos and threes and went home.
Village Chief Gu’s teaching time is fixed, only one hour, so as not to interfere with the family’s work.
Pan Dahai took Pan Xiaohe and said hello to Guozi and the others, then left.
……
After leaving the school, several children held hands and walked slowly forward.
Gu Qingming said something to his father and walked out with Guozi and the others.
Guozi asked, "Brother Yuelai, do you have anything to do at home today?"
Liu Yuelai thought about it and shook his head. "No, there may be no one at home right now. Grandpa Wang, Grandpa Liu, Father Liu, and Uncle Ashan have all gone to the mountains to get firewood."
When Xuan heard his eldest brother ask this, he knew what he wanted to do and quickly replied, "Since we have nothing to do, let's go play with Brother Daquan. We haven't played with him for a few days."
Liu Xiaoyu agreed: "Yes, and I heard from my father that the weather will be getting colder and colder, and it will snow, so it will be difficult to go out. Let's go and play with Brother Daquan now."
"Okay, let's go then."
The children held hands and walked towards Daquan's house.
……
Xu Yuan took advantage of the fact that the two children at home went to school, and Xu Zhi went to play with Juanhua, Xiaoque and the others, and then planned to go into the forest again to get firewood and prey.
The weather changed so suddenly that Xuyuan was caught off guard. Although the weather forecast only reported the sound of whistling wind, it didn't sound very loud.
But the shed flew away and the vegetable garden suffered.
If it is predicted to snow one day, it is impossible for you to start preparing firewood and storing food the day before.
Of course, you have to prepare before that, the more the better.
There are also radish seeds that were sown in the fields not long ago. Because the weather was still slightly cool when they were sown, and the straw bedding has a good warming effect, they have sprouted in the past few days.
With the sudden drop in temperature now, I’m afraid the crops won’t grow well. But there’s nothing we can do. The straw hasn’t been removed and is still laid on top.
He wrote a note and put it on the table, put on a straw raincoat, took the necessary supplies for going into the mountains, closed the gate, and walked up the mountain.
I was too lazy to talk to the villagers, so in order to avoid meeting them, I changed direction and tried to go up the mountain on a road with fewer people.
As we walked, the trees became more and more dense, but there was also more and more dry firewood. It turned out that it was better to live in a place with few people, and there was enough firewood. Xu Yuan quickly picked up the hatchet and started chopping.
The trees here are mostly fir trees, with some pine trees scattered around.
While making a wish, he was picking up fallen pine needles on the ground and bundling them into a bunch. Unexpectedly, he stepped on a thorny and shriveled shell.
I picked it up and took a look. It looked a bit like a chestnut shell.
Chestnuts are good. Although the shell is a little difficult to peel, the flesh inside is softer than sweet potatoes.
When Xu Yuan was looking at the record of wild game in Xiaojiu's system, he was so greedy that he kept pouring down a tube of nutrient solution into his mouth before he could calm down.
I am finally lucky enough to see it in this era, and I can finally taste what it tastes like.
Following the shells that fell on the ground, I looked around and finally found one place.
Many of the shells on the ground were shrunken, and some were fallen fruits. The weeds were dense, especially the kind of silvergrass that could cut a person's hand.
"Ding Dong, congratulations to the master for discovering wild chestnuts. You will be rewarded with 100 points."
It sounded in my mind at the right time.
All in all, the points should be around 25,000.
The wild chestnut tree was very tall, and there were several smaller chestnut trees nearby, which seemed to be seedlings grown from seeds that fell to the ground.
Xu Yuan felt that the basket he brought with him was not big enough, and looking at the chestnuts hanging on the tree, he didn't know where to start.
There are many hanging on the trees, and many fallen on the ground.
When it is not discovered, it can only be eaten by small animals in the mountains.
Xuyuan made a mark here, tied up the firewood, picked up the chestnuts that fell on the ground and put them in the backpack, found a clean place, ate the dry food he brought, rested for a while, stayed on the mountain until sunset, and then walked straight down the mountain.
