Thanks for the invitation: In ancient times, people shared children

Chapter 195

She looked enthusiastic, and those people were smiling and seemed very kind, so the child walked over.

After sitting down by the railing, the girl came over and asked without hesitation, "Why are you alone? Where is your son?"

Child:……

I knew it! Dressed like this, she looks like a maid!

She tugged at the strap of her bamboo hat and said, "He's not my young master. He's behind me."

"Huh? No, then who is he to you?"

This was a bit difficult to explain, and the child noticed that many people kept their distance from eunuchs, so he could only vaguely say, "He's the son of my uncle next door."

"The uncle next door's son...that's...your neighbor," the girl pondered for a long time, "He's your friend, right?"

"I guess so." The child said reluctantly.

I don't want to make friends with such a bad mouth.

"In that case, why not ask him to come into the pavilion and rest for a while so we can talk."

A man who looked about the same age as Lian Li spoke, his eyes looking in the direction of the mountain path.

The child turned his head and saw Lian Li. He waved to him and called out, "I'm here. Come and sit down. There's a seat here."

If we wait a little longer, there may be more people and it may not be available.

Lian Li waved reluctantly.

Is it possible that he doesn't want to be in a crowd at all?

After just a short while, she went to sit with someone else?

Who are they?

Lian Li walked over, and the man, who was about the same age as him, was the first to greet him with a fist salute, and said something warm and polite like "It is fate that we are meeting under the pavilion today."

He claimed to be the son-in-law of Mr. Zhang in the city. His family had just moved here and had heard that Fayuan Temple was very famous. Today, when he had some free time, he brought his family to the mountain to worship Buddha. His wife was not in good health and was tired from climbing the mountain, so she rested in the Zen room. He saw that the weather was fine and everyone was in high spirits, so he accompanied his father-in-law, mother-in-law and wife's sister to the mountain to take a look.

Stop and rest when you are tired.

As for the other three people, I had just met them. They were a family of three, Mr. Zhao, who was climbing the mountain with his wife and daughter. I only knew them after asking them carefully.

Mr. Zhao is a teacher at Xianlu Academy in the city, and Mr. Zhang's son-in-law Xu Cong is also going to study at Xianlu Academy. They will definitely have intersections in the future, so now that they have met, they feel like old friends at first sight.

They were quite enthusiastic, but Lian Li didn't want to talk to them much. He just said that his surname was Chen and he was the only son in the family, and they called him Chen Dalang.

The perfunctory attitude was obvious, but the child was quite enthusiastic and called himself a child.

But it also sounds fake.

Zhang Xiaomei pursed her lips and muttered, "If you don't want to say it, then don't say it. Why would you lie to me?"

She was mumbling quite loudly.

Xu Cong stopped her, saying, "Hey, Xiaomei, don't be rude. You have to be on guard against others. It's understandable that Master Chen and this little sister are unwilling to tell the truth.

But meeting is fate, so why dwell on names? We were just playing chess, and I wonder if Mr. Chen would be interested in a game."

On the table in the middle of the pavilion, there is a chessboard and chess pieces.

Based on her experience as a child, she knew nothing about this stuff, and could only feel that Mr. Xu spoke very nicely.

His father-in-law, Mr. Zhang, and Mr. Zhao were also very polite.

But Lian Li was very rude and refused directly: "No, you guys go ahead.

Have you rested enough? If so, let's go. Didn't you say you wanted to go find some pheasants or rabbits? "

Child:……

Since he asked her this, how could she rest any longer? She had no choice but to go with him.

When the people were out of sight, the child finally lost his temper and angrily asked him, "What are you doing? They're so polite, and you're acting like we're the bad guys."

"You know what? If I really sit down, I'll regret it the next time I see them."

"What do you regret?"

Lian Li said lazily in a long tone:

"Scholars are all aloof and disdain to associate with people like us. Haven't you heard?

Besides, why should I bother with people I don’t know?”

The child had no comment on the first sentence, but the second sentence did make some sense.

"Since they are treating us politely, we should refuse politely."

"I'm being tactful. Didn't I tell you you were going to look for pheasants and rabbits? You've come this far, have you found any?"

Lian Li started talking again with a smile.

He is like a monkey, changing his face at any time.

The children always saw him smiling, smiling in the mansion, and also smiling at the Zhang and Chen families. They never expected that he would be like this when he came out. Now when they see him smiling, it seems so fake.

Lian Li: "Why are you looking at me? Didn't you find it?"

The child curled his lips and said, "There are so many people coming and going here, where can I find him?"

Pheasants and rabbits are not stupid.

Lian Li smiled and said, "Don't look so sad. I know a secluded road. It's a little difficult to walk on and it doesn't lead to the mountain. Do you want to go?"

"Let's go. Where is that road?"

If I go up the mountain, I might run into Mr. Zhao and Mr. Zhang again, which would be so embarrassing.

"A little higher."

Lian Li and the child turned into a dirt road.

This road is obviously rarely traveled and is not well-formed.

The ground was covered with a layer of pine needles, and I felt uneasy walking on it. I walked for a long time before I got onto a bluestone path. Strolling through the woods, I only saw a few big-tailed moles standing on the trees, alertly paying attention to their surroundings, but they were not afraid of people.

Perhaps all moles in the world are so brave. They only run away when children try to climb up a tree to catch them. They don't run far, just jumping from one tree to another, and then look at the children with a slightly smug look on their faces.

If they were human, they would definitely laugh as hatefully as Lian Li.

But they are not as smart as humans, and they cannot be caught by climbing the tree. The child simply picked up pine cones and knocked one down when the animal was not paying attention.

She had already used enough force on the attack, so the little thing was just caught off guard and fell down holding the pine cone. It didn't even feel dizzy before it fell into her hands.

I was confused and met the child's evil smile.

The mouse was a nice little one, looking proud and clever before it fell down, but after being pinched by her for a while, it turned into a flat mouse cake.

Lian Li: "Dead?"

"What are you talking about! Am I such a cruel person?" The child happily stroked the thick fur and said proudly, "I massaged it."

The rat is satisfied, the rat is comfortable, the rat is spread out like a rat pancake.

The child was satisfied, the child was happy, and the child touched the mouse's head.

Lian Li had heard: "Can the acupuncture points on humans and mice be the same?"

"Why look for an acupuncture point? Isn't it enough to feel comfortable?"

Children have also pinched pumpkins. As long as they don’t hurt it, they can pinch it and feel comfortable even if they don’t know the acupoints on it.

If you don’t understand the acupoints, you won’t be able to see them.

It didn't bark, didn't want to run away, and cooperated with being pinched, which means there's no problem.

Lian Li:……

If she thinks this way...there will be problems sooner or later.

"I have a book here. It's a book on animal medicine. If you're interested, I'll give it to you when we get back."

The child didn't like reading, but he was quite curious: "There are books about treating animals? How do you have such books?"

"The palace also keeps things like this. I knew someone who worked in the Imperial Beastiality Garden. When he died, he gave me the book. He originally wanted me to give it to his family."

"Then why didn't you give it to me?"

"His family members are all dead," Lian Li said with some regret. "He said that it was his life's work and he wanted to pass it down to his family to carry on. Now it's yours."

Child:……

"I don't want it. Such a valuable thing, you should give it to someone else."

"If there was a suitable one, I would have given it to you long ago. Take it. Maybe I'll die someday, and no one will know about this thing. Wouldn't that be a shame?"

Lian Li fiddled with the squirrel's tail, and the little thing, which had been soft just a moment ago, suddenly became furry and jumped out of the child's hand and ran away.

The child was also a little annoyed when he heard what he said: "Why do you say such unlucky words?"

Lian Li's narrow eyes curved up: "I'm just talking nonsense, what are you afraid of?"

He raised his head to look at the squirrel, the mottled shadows of the trees cast on his face, the light flickering.

It looks very unlucky.

Child:……

Aren’t there enough shadows in my life?

"The palace doesn't sound like a good place. Why do you have to go there?"

Lian Li flicked her head hard:

"What are you talking about? That place... is the best place in the world for me. What do you know, little girl?"

He rubbed the child's head vigorously.

No matter how many times I tell him that he won’t grow taller, he doesn’t care!
