idyllic tranquility

Chapter 48

Although he has returned to Beili Village, He Ning can't just go home like this.The pain all over his body made it difficult for him to even stand up, let alone walk.Moreover, he was unwilling to use such a scarred and weak state to meet his family who had been waiting for him for more than a month.

Originally, his disappearance was enough for them to worry about. If they saw him covered in scars and bleeding profusely now, they would feel so heartbroken.

At present, He Ning can only stay in Li's house to recuperate and cannot go home, but he does not want his family to continue to wait hopelessly, so he plans to wait for two days when his arm is better and he can write with a pen, so he will write a letter to his family go back.Fortunately, it was not the wrist that was fractured in the right hand. Although the recovery period was long, I still had the strength to hold the pen. The arm was splinted, but the wrist could still move.It's good to be able to write in this situation, and you can't expect him to write well.

I don't know when He Ning has put the relatives of the He family in his heart. It wasn't until he left home for a long time that the feeling of missing him became stronger, which made him clearly realize his dependence and sense of belonging to the He family.

The warm thoughts also gradually wiped away the hostility that He Ning had produced in the field of life and death, and made him calm down, which was completely different from the feeling he gave when he first woke up to Li Xinran.It seems that a killing not only did not make him more ruthless and sharp, but made him realize the rareness and preciousness of tranquility.

"Master He, it's time to drink the medicine."

The flying thoughts were interrupted by Qing Sui'er who entered the door with a tray, He Ning looked at the medicine bowl in the other's hand in distress, and missed the capsule pills that Hyundai swallowed in one gulp.What made him feel even more painful was that his weak hands couldn't even hold the bowl steadily, and he couldn't eat one bowl at a time, so he had to let Qing Sui'er feed him spoonful by spoonful. Drinking medicine became a long torture.

"Your name is Qing Sui'er. My name is He Ning. The owner of Beili Village is not a son. You can call me He Ning from now on. Don't be Mr. He."

Although the medicine is very difficult to drink, He Ning is grateful for the young servant Qing Sui'er who took good care of him.

"Then how can it be done, Mr. He is a guest of the Li family, and the young lady ordered him to take good care of him!"

Qing Sui'er is very considerate in taking care of others, but she has a shy personality, especially obeys the rules, and is even more meticulous in what Li Xinran explained.

"Then did your lady tell you to listen to me?" To deal with the old-fashioned, you have to use the rules to reason.

"Eh? How do you know, Miss did say so!"

"How I know is not important, the important thing is that I don't want you to call me Mr. He."

How could there be such a rush to bully the little sheep?

"Yes, I can call you directly. It's really against the rules. I, I can't do that."

Although he felt that He Ning's words were reasonable, but the class thinking instilled in him since he was a child made him unable to put himself on the same level as the guests of the Li family.

"Well, it's really inappropriate to call me by my name, then... you can call me Brother Ning."

Qing Sui'er's embarrassment made He Ning realize that his actions might really be inappropriate. He wanted to change Qing Sui'er's name not to embarrass him, but to get closer to each other.So, Brother Ning is a good choice, um, yes. (For what, is it better to be older than you? o__o)

"Quick, cry, Brother Ning, listen, good call, Brother Ning will tell you a story." Kidnapping the little sheep...

Although I still feel that this address is not quite right, it is much better than calling her by my first name directly. Moreover, He Ning has a rather cold personality, and he doesn’t talk much on weekdays. will hit each other.

"Then, okay, Ning, Brother Ning."

"Hey, you're so good. Brother Ning also keeps his promise, and tell you a story of 'Chen Xiang saves his mother'."

He Ning has almost forgotten all kinds of myths and legends he heard in childhood, but the story of "Chenxiang Saves His Mother" is still fresh in He Ning's memory, which is also due to the fact that it was the first movie he watched when he was a child.Even though he watched many big-budget movies when he grew up, only the movie "Chenxiang Saves His Mother" is the one he remembers most.

"A long time ago (thousands of years), there was a scholar named Liu Xi who was full of poetry and books, and his name was Yanchang. When he was visiting Huashan, he saw a temple. The temple god Huayue Sanniang in this temple is a beautiful and kind After being dispatched by the Queen Mother to Mount Hua, she has been living a lonely life. One day, she was singing and dancing in the temple, killing time, when she suddenly found a scholar stepping into the temple gate..."

The beginning of a beautiful story has deeply captured all of Qing Sui'er's minds. She was fascinated by the joy of the San Shengmu, and was angry with Chen Xiang's anger, until finally she heard the ending of the reunion of mother and child. move.

Qing Sui'er had never heard such a story, and at the end, even though He Ning had finished telling the story, he was still immersed in the plot of the story, sometimes happy and sometimes sad, and he didn't get distracted for a long time.

"Qingsui'er...Qingsui'er, you're getting better!"

He Ning did not expect that the other party would be so intoxicated by a story, just as he couldn't understand why his mother could cry and laugh while watching Korean dramas.

"Brother Ning, why do you think Erlang God is so bad, why didn't the Queen Mother punish him severely? Also, Chen Xiang is really brave... let's go"

He Ning felt something was wrong, why did it seem that the chatting function of the little rabbit suddenly turned on?

However, after telling a story, He Ning remembered one thing: It is said that the Li family seems to have a lot of books.I don't know if he was lucky enough to pick up some books and read them?It would be great if you can find books on woodworking techniques.After all, in ancient times, many unpopular bookstores sold very few books, and most of them were collected by aristocratic families.

Although the Li family is not a big family, the Li family is definitely not short of money, and reading is a waste of money. As long as you are willing to spend money, you should be able to buy most of the books.Moreover, I heard that the youngest son of the Li family loved reading, and the landlord Li collected a lot of good books for his youngest son when he went out to do business.Presumably over the years, the Li family's collection of books has become very objective.Maybe there will be one or two books on woodworking!

Thinking of this, He Ning couldn't help feeling a little moved, so he asked Qing Sui'er about it.

"Qingsui, let me ask you something, does the Li family have a lot of books?"

"Hey, um, yes, huh, huh?" Qing Sui'er was still touched by Chen Xiang's filial piety in saving her mother, and subconsciously answered He Ning's question.However, He Ning's question finally brought Qing Sui'er back to his senses.

"Brother Ning, do you want to read a book? The place with the largest collection of books at home is in the third son's study~"

"Well, then please ask your lady to see if you can lend me two books to read. I'm almost bored to death lying in bed all day."

The injury on the back covers a large area, and it hurts even a little movement. He Ning wants to recover sooner, so he can't get out of bed willfully.

"Well, okay, I'll go to Miss to ask for instructions!"

The wounds on He Ning's body were all changed by Qing Sui'er. He knew how miserable this person's injuries were. Out of sympathy, the kind Qing Sui'er couldn't bear to refuse any request from He Ning, let alone the other party. I told her such a beautiful story today.So, upon hearing that He Ning had a need, Qing Sui'er really wanted to help him fulfill it right away.

"Don't worry, if your lady agrees, you can look for books on carpentry and so on. If there are any, it would be the best. If there are none, you can take some books on geology and humanities or interesting things in the court. stop."

Thinking of Li Xinran's stalk of "if you don't agree, you will be rewarded", He Ning directly explained the books he needed, saving Qingsui'er from running back and forth.

"Well, I will definitely help Brother Ning find it."

After all, Qing Sui'er took the packed medicine bowl and went to work quickly, and didn't realize that calling "Brother Ning" became more and more smooth now, without any sense of disobedience.

He Ning laughed when he heard Qingsui'er's determined tone as if Chen Xiang saved his mother, looked at the galloping figure, and quickly confessed: "It's okay if you can't find it, don't force it."

When the voice fell to the ground, Qing Sui'er had already turned a corner and disappeared from He Ning's sight, so he didn't see the little dimple on Qing Sui'er's cheek because of his words.

This time, He Ning was very lucky. The Li family really had a collection of books on carpentry, but there was only one book, and it was an entry-level content for carpentry.

The journey of searching for books was so bumpy, He Ning felt that it was a little unreliable to get a way to improve woodworking skills from books.In this era, handicrafts are generally taught by masters to apprentices, and Lao Tzu teaches his sons. It is passed down orally from generation to generation, and few books are written.His instinct of always looking for answers from books was given to him by "Du Niang", which was not practical in ancient times.

Like the encyclopedia of agriculture and handicrafts written by Song Yingxing in the Ming Dynasty - "Tiangong Kaiwu", He Ning can only think about it greedily.He doesn't know if there are such masterpieces in this era. However, if this kind of sustainable technology works that contained the most cutting-edge technologies of the time really existed, it shouldn't be so unknown. After all, such cultural treasures, no matter in Any era can shine.

Thinking of He Xiaotian who loves to read, He Ning has an unformed idea in his heart, but since everyone is still young, it is still too far away.That kid has saved a lot of money because of the "skate rental business" he has managed for several years, and he is probably studying in a private school in the town now.

…………

Three days passed slowly while He Ning was recuperating, reading, and teasing Qing Sui'er.

On this day, He Ning's right hand was finally able to hold the brush for a while. It took He Ning a long time to write and write, and finally he had such a decent "family letter", although there were only... five words—— "Return in seven days, Ning"

Although the font is a bit different from before, He Ning believes that He An will definitely recognize that it was written by him, because he taught He An the meaning of punctuation marks.Only He Ning and He An know the "comma" on the letter paper in this era.

Seven days later, he could barely get off the ground, his left arm was slightly injured, and the splint could be removed.What's important is that Xiao Zhi and the Li family gave him good medicines, and his body is young, with strong growth and resilience, after more than half a month of cultivation, he can get out of bed without any problem.

He has been away from home for too long, if he doesn't want to worry his family too much, he really wants to go back now.
