Chapter 27 Not the Right Way

Zhu Da was completely unfamiliar with the word "sect". The first thing he thought of was monks and Taoist priests, but the only thing related to the gods and monsters in Baibao Village was the land temple at the entrance of the village. It was already dilapidated and was not decent. Only the old man would go to worship occasionally. Although monks like monks and Taoist priests have seen them in Baibao Village, the number of times was really limited. It was too poor here and monks were too lazy to come.

It is said that he is unfamiliar, which means that his parents and fellow villagers have never mentioned it, and it is not very familiar to them. But after saying this word to Bo, his parents' expressions changed drastically, and his mother Zhu Wangshi hurriedly said: "Xiaoda, you must not talk about the Taoist matters to the outside world. If outsiders find out, it will cause big trouble!"

Seeing that Zhu Da was still interested in asking, before his father Zhu Shitou spoke, Xiang Bo said sternly: "Don't ask anything. You will know sooner or later. The Taoist did not tell you his origin, just because he was afraid of causing you the crime of beheading. Do you understand!"

The atmosphere was so serious that Zhu Da could only suppress the curiosity in his heart, and nodded quickly to agree. After warning Zhu Da to Bo, he said to Zhu's parents solemnly: "Please rest assured, the old man knows the importance of this, and he will not talk nonsense to the outside world!"

The topic of the wild Taoist scattered the originally harmonious and relaxed atmosphere, and everyone had no intention of continuing to talk more. After eating it simply, it would disperse. Zhu Da followed his parents home, and there was no chatting on the way. His father Zhu Shitou warned him again when he got home. Then Zhu Da realized that his parents dared not say anything on the road.

Before going to bed, Zhu Da could guess one or two things. The "Church Gate" is probably related to serious crimes such as treason. Otherwise, the government has strictly banned the "Church Gate". Thinking about the experiences and experiences of more than 20 years of life, it is easy to figure it out. On the kang, he sighed that this village seems shallow and closed, but there are still many things he doesn't know, because parents and elders think they need to protect their children, or they don't think they need to tell them so detailed, but this information is very useful to them...

In the past, I fell asleep in a daze while thinking and summarizing, but I couldn't sleep tonight. Crying sounds came from time to time in the village. Although I was not traveling far away, my family had to spend food and grass away for a month, and many people still felt uncomfortable.

Zhu Da could understand their thoughts. For most people in Baibao Village, spending overnight in the village is a big deal. Many people have never even been to the neighboring village several times, let alone the Huairen Thousand Household Institute dozens of miles away. Zhu Da felt that it could understand, but on the other hand, it was incredible. These dozens of miles of distance were just a one-day trip to him.

The next day, the village was busy. Mr. Li called on several families to collect the allocated grains and grass in the village. Yesterday, everyone figured it out. Once the food and grass were really handed over, they would have to make a fuss. Zhu Da went to Xiang Bo early and met the villagers on the way. He smiled and said hello. The other party often didn't know how to deal with it. It was not that he ignored it, but that he was a little confused and passed by with an awkward smile.

Yesterday, Zhu Da talked happily and planned everything for everyone. Everyone thought that this was a similar character to Mr. Li, but when he saw it face to face, he was a twelve-year-old boy. He wanted to be polite and respectful, but he was embarrassed to express it, so he could only smile over.

Zhu Da didn't care about this attitude at all. He just wanted to practice martial arts well now. After arriving at Xiang Bo's family, Zhu Da wanted to help do the work, but Xiang Bo first took the knife skills of the school yesterday and asked him to practice it. Then he corrected several mistakes and repeated the training over and over again. Compared with the beginners yesterday, today is already a bit boring.

"Stay calm and don't feel annoyed. I also felt bored by the old man. I practiced under the whip and stick. I only realized it was useful after I got on the battle formation. What's the matter? It's the most important thing to be able to save my life!" Xiang Bo was actually not so taciturn, and it was annoying to talk.

However, the exercise this morning ended half an hour earlier than yesterday. Xiang Bo asked Zhu Da to lead Zhou Qingyun to the river to pick fish and exercise. Zhu Da was a little puzzled by this, thinking that it was unreasonable. On the first day, he felt that his exercise method was useful, but this method was right, just follow it.

When the two people ran out of the village for more than a mile, Zhu Da accidentally turned around and saw Xiang Bo standing at the entrance of the village and looking at this side. Zhu Da raised his hand and waved it. Xiang Bo ignored it at all, but this still moved him very much and felt very warm in his heart. The relationship between master and apprentice has only been two days, but this concern is true.

There were no fish in the puddle. There were two puddles that probably weren't caught, but the rest of the puddles seemed to have fish in and were caught by people, and the fishing puddles were also harmed by humans. It was the way the children and teenagers did. Zhou Qingyun was furious when he saw this scene and said gritting his teeth: "Let's hide aside and see who comes to make trouble!"

"There is no one to us, can we control it?" Zhu Da replied, the result was expected.

Whether it is his own or Xiang Bo’s family, the fish stock is enough for a few days to eat. Of course, this is mainly the result of Zhou Qingyun shooting fish with a bow and arrow that day, and he was not in a hurry for a while. However, the conditions for getting a disciple with Xiang Bo were to catch fish, and this matter must be taken seriously.

"Just fill these holes and throw a few big stones in!"

Although there were no fish, Zhu Da didn't just throw it away. He and Zhou Qingyun completely destroyed several fishing pits. He didn't know if there were any fish coming in next, but the other party was just messing around and could not let the other party slap the resources to slap the fish.

"Master, I want a few very long raw silks and a few slender bamboo poles. It is best to be ten feet long, and a few sewing needles." After returning to Xiang Bo's family, Zhu Da made his request, but he was very nervous when he said this. Datong, Shanxi is the northern part of the Ming Dynasty. There is no bamboo growing here and there will be no silk. I am afraid that these two things will not be cheap.

"What's the point of buying this?"

"Make a fishing rod to fish!"

Raw silk is tough and can be used as fishing line. If the sewing needle is burned red, it will be used as a hook. The bamboo rod is a fishing rod. This is a very simple fishing rod. It is simple and simple, but fishing fish in the Xiami River is enough. This is much more efficient than a fishing pit and can catch larger fish.

Seeing Xiang Bo hesitating, Zhu Da quickly added: "If the price is expensive, just a few sewing needles and ordinary thread tips are good. You can go to the mountain to think of a solution!"

He knew that he had to act within his ability. Xiang Bo's family was well-off in Baibao Village, but he couldn't say how rich he was. If the money for buying fishing gear was too expensive, it was one that could not afford it, and the other was not worth it. Zhu Da also had alternative means. Ordinary cotton thread was soaked in oil and other means to increase flexibility, and then used slender branches to replace bamboo poles, which was not impossible.

Xiang Bo shook his head and replied in a muffled voice: "The bamboo pole is not easy to make, but raw silk is easy. If you can't buy it, it's impossible to buy it. It has nothing to do with the high and low. When the person who has left Ding will leave, the old man will buy it for you."

I thought there were bamboo poles everywhere and raw silk was rare, but I didn’t expect it to be this answer. Zhu Da subconsciously asked, “It’s easy to buy raw silk?”

"We are good at buying silk in Shanxi." Xiang Bo answered angrily, which made Zhu Da confused for a moment.

Xiang Boneng didn't teach many martial arts, and it was boring to practice. In fact, this was the second day of practicing swords. Zhu Da was no longer fresh, but he was not tired of it. A real child or a teenager might not be able to hold back, but Zhu Da was not.

When it was dark, Zhu Da prepared dinner. Xiang Bo and Zhou Qingyun did not call him now. Everyone worked hard to eat together, but their fishing skills were really poor. They just started to clean up when Mr. Li came over there.

"I will take it to Huairen Qianhu Station tomorrow morning. Zhu Da, don't you tell everyone a few words? Let's say it tonight, or to say it tomorrow morning?" Mr. Li went straight to the point.

The attitude of inquiring is to treat Zhu Da as an adult, or a sensible adult who has seen the world. Zhu Da was not proud of this, but just replied politely and politely: "I will tell you tomorrow morning."

Mr. Li was also very busy. He nodded and was about to leave when he heard this. Zhu Da shouted him and said in a deep voice: "Mr. General Qi, you must make a handover with the superiors when you go to the Qianhu Institute of Huairen. If you don't make any trouble, just say to the superiors. It is difficult for the people in Baibao Village to manage and it is easy to cause trouble. This time it took a lot of effort to convince them to come."

"What do you mean?" Mr. Li was stunned at first and asked quickly.

"If you are very careful and honest and obedient, then you will like to find people from our hundred households in the future. Mr. Li, you can't handle it." Zhu Da said with a smile.

Mr. Li Qi and Li Ji are not fools, and they can be easily understood. After thinking about it for a while, he said to Xiang Bo next to him: "Old Xiang, this Zhu Da is really not simple. You said you didn't teach me, but I believe it now!"

When Mr. Li left the yard, Xiang Bo patted Zhu Da on the shoulder, shook his head and said, "This Baibao Village is too small for you, and it's a pity for you."

Zhu Da didn't answer, just scratched his head and smirked.

"Friends, you went to Huairen Qianhu Station and came from below and from the countryside. You will definitely be looked down upon and bullied. No one will help us there. We can only join us together. If the villagers in the village don't help themselves, then no one will help us!"

"Friends, don't agree immediately if you arrange for you to do anything. You should bargain with them. You are not asking you to find a fight. If you really want to do it, just do it and don't have to force it to the end!"

"Compet with other hundreds of households, we must not do more, not do more at all!"

The next morning, Zhu Da spoke loudly to the thirty people who came out of the way, and everyone was stunned.
