The Moon is Full in the Traveling House

The next morning, Su Lun returned to the house after completing his morning exercises as usual, only to find Su Zheng already waiting in the house. Su Zheng took out the newly bought pen, ink, paper and inkstone yesterday and handed them to Su Lun, saying, "Alun, I went to visit Mr. Qin yesterday. Two months later, you will enroll with other students." Su Lun took the pen and paper and said gratefully, "Thank you, brother." Although he couldn't help but burst into tears, he understood his brother's good intentions. After finally getting through the college entrance examination, do I have to start studying those "zhihuzheya" things again? I will be joining the army in more than a month, and studying hard now is a waste of time. Although Su Lun was reluctant in his heart, he did not show it on the surface. It was more important to appease his elder brother first. If his elder brother knew that he insisted on joining the army, who knows what would happen.

Su Lun excused himself to go back to his room to review his lessons and said goodbye to his elder brother. Seeing that his younger brother was sincere and did not seem to be faking it, Su Zheng happily left and went to look after the peanut and corn seedlings that were to be planted in a few days. After seeing Su Zheng leave, Su Lun took out the small slingshot he made in his spare time to play with. Although Su Lun was not good at archery, he was very good at playing with the slingshot. After all, this was the toy he played with most often when he was a child. In this era, there were no advanced weapons. Although the small slingshot was inconspicuous, it might be able to save your life at a critical moment!

In this way, two days passed peacefully, and the two brothers planted corn and peanuts together. Su Lun proposed to go into the mountains again. Su Zheng thought of his brother's indescribable archery skills and said, "Why don't I go with you!"

"No need, big brother. The children will be back to school in a couple of days, so you should prepare first. I'll just walk around the foot of the mountain, there's no danger, I can go by myself."

"Be careful and don't go to dangerous places." Su Zheng warned earnestly.

"Don't worry, brother."

Su Lun carried a bow and arrow on his back, held a small slingshot in his hand, and walked up the mountain as lightly as a swallow. This time, Su Lun was really lucky. He found a chestnut tree on the mountainside, which was full of heavy chestnuts. He cut off a branch and hit the tree hard. Soon, many chestnut balls fell like raindrops. Su Lun carefully peeled the chestnut balls and put the plump fruits into the basket on his back one by one. Looking at the more than 20 kilograms of chestnuts in the basket, he was secretly happy: with these chestnuts, even if he returned empty-handed today, it would be worthwhile.

Su Lun continued to stride forward, and suddenly, he stopped as if he was cast a spell! It turned out that there was a black snake not far ahead! At this moment, Su Lun was no longer as carefree as before, and he did not dare to move at all. You know, he was fearless, but he was allergic to soft reptiles like snakes! In an instant, fear surged into his heart like a tide, and Su Lun felt that his clothes on the back were soaked with sweat, and he stood still.

The snake seemed to find it interesting, perhaps because it realized that Su Lun had no ill intentions. After a while, it slowly crawled away. Su Lun felt relieved when the black snake completely disappeared from his sight. He wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and did not dare to stay for a moment, and ran down the mountain at the fastest speed.

Su Zheng was surprised to see Su Lun coming back so soon, and asked, "Alun, why did you come back so soon?" Su Lun was worried that if he told the truth about being scared away by a snake, his brother would not let him go up the mountain again, so he lied that he had picked up a lot of chestnuts and had a good harvest, so he went home early. Fortunately, Su Zheng did not suspect anything.

I wanted to take this opportunity to practice archery and try out the power of the slingshot, but who would have thought that plans can never keep up with changes? Isn't this a living example? At this time, Su Lun calmed down and secretly decided to find an opportunity to try again tomorrow.

With nothing to do, Su Lun simply went back to his room to practice calligraphy. In fact, he was not very interested in practicing calligraphy, but his calligraphy was really not good enough. To this day, he still remembers Su Zheng's shocked expression when he saw the words he wrote for the first time! Su Lun's calligraphy is at most at the level of a beginner. He argued that he hadn't held a pen for too long and was a little rusty. Su Zheng believed him, but asked him to practice more and regain the feeling of the past. Su Lun had a hard time saying this. You know, in modern times, his handwriting is not bad. It's a pity that modern hard-tipped characters are very different from ancient soft-tipped characters. If it weren't for the original owner's memory, Su Lun might not even know how to hold a pen. The characters in this world are similar to traditional Chinese characters. If it weren't for the original owner's memory, Su Lun might not even recognize all the characters! Su Lun silently recited "Diligence can make up for clumsiness" countless times in his heart, wrote a thick stack of paper, and felt distressed. After all, paper and pens were very expensive in this era. Fortunately, although his current handwriting could not match the original owner's elegant and beautiful style, it was still neat and could be barely presented.

Su Zheng was worried that Su Lun would neglect his studies because he was obsessed with martial arts and archery. At this time, he saw his brother practicing calligraphy with full concentration, and he felt relieved. He turned around and left with relief to do his own things. Although the grain crops have been planted, there are still a lot of trivial matters to be dealt with, such as fertilizing the crops and cutting grass for chickens. In the past, most of these things were done by the two brothers together. Although Su Zheng really loves his brother, he also knows that he is about to leave, and it is unrealistic to ask servants to help after he leaves, after all, their savings are limited. Therefore, he must teach his brother these most basic survival skills, because it is better to teach a man to fish than to give him a fish! However, seeing that Su Lun is so focused, he decided not to disturb him for the time being.

The two brothers were busy like spinning tops, but when they had some free time, they would chat like old friends. They both had their own plans in mind, but they also avoided the heavy topic that was like a heavy burden. They cherished this rare time to reunite with their family.

In a blink of an eye, the children's study day came again. This time, Su Lun also joined the teacher's team. Looking at the children's innocent faces like angels, Su Lun's entanglement and depression disappeared like smoke. Instead of thinking about something illusory, it is better to live in the present!

During the break, Su Lun took out the ripe kiwis and chestnuts picked from the mountain the day before, and distributed them to the children. At first, the children were a little intimidated by the unfamiliar rattan pears and did not dare to eat them easily. Su Lun, like a knowledgeable scholar, explained in detail the edible value of this fruit and its wonderful taste after softening. After listening, the children tried it carefully, and it was as sweet and delicious as Su Lun said. As a result, rattan pears gradually got rid of the label of being obscure and unpalatable, and became a new fruit that was sought after and praised! This is a story for later, so let's not talk about it for now. At this time, Su Lun and the children were playing together, and bursts of laughter like silver bells could be heard from the small courtyard from time to time...
