Iron Bull Legend

Chapter 15 Growing Pains

Sister-in-law Jin altered her husband's clothes to make them much bigger than Little Tieniu's clothes now. Before dinner, she finally finished changing them. When she put them on Little Tieniu's body, it looked like a basket.

The three children started living as usual again. In addition to the daily activities of standing still, the two little girls began to watch the little Tieniu touching bronze antiques with his eyes closed.

In fact, what the two little girls don't know is that every time Little Tieniu touches the antique bronze wares, a yin-temperature gas directly penetrates into the bronze wares that have been passed down for thousands of years or hundreds of years. In his body, it was also the time when he felt most comfortable. If the two sisters weren't there, he would hum.

At the same time, he also had a heartfelt feeling for the antiques of different periods. The atmosphere of the antiques of each era was different. The feeling of using Xiao Tieniu's own body was the weight of the age.

In the afternoon, Little Tieniu still went to the dilapidated small house to listen to Fatty Liu, the snake oil, lecture on business. Today, Fatty Liu told Little Tieniu how to recognize people, from their hair, facial features, clothing, shoes and hats, movements, Walk to discern the good and evil of this person.

Every time at this time, Little Tieniu would listen quietly. In the eyes of the teacher, Little Tieniu was the best student. Every time Fatty Liu lectured, he would let Little Tieniu digest it, and then ask Xiao Tieniu. Tieniu answered all the questions he just mentioned correctly and without distinction.

This also aroused the competitive spirit of more than a dozen old people. You asked this question, and he asked that question. A lesson in understanding people was disrupted by these old people.

The room was noisy for a while, with adults asking questions, children answering, and from time to time, others making jokes and laughing.

A month later, the clothes that Mrs. Jin made for Xiao Tieniu fit perfectly, and the trousers that were rolled up in half were all lowered. Xiao Tieniu is now taller than the two sisters Jin Lan and Jin Zhu.

The children who played together every day didn't notice it, but others saw it. At this time, Little Tieniu was already over three years old and over one meter tall.

The little iron cow that originally looked like a meat roller is gone. The muscles on his body are strong and strong. The abdominal muscles on his lower belly are obvious, and the muscles on his thighs and arms are slightly bulging.

It is estimated that it won't take long for Xiao Tieniu's clothes to become too small again. Xiao Tieniu also discovered a recent change in himself, that is, his clothes are a bit short.

Sister-in-law Jin saw this, she was happy in her heart, and worried in her head. There was no fabric at home that could be used to make clothes for Little Tieniu. In addition, now that the time was right, autumn was about to come, and the weather was getting colder, which meant clothes. We need to make thicker clothes. Not only that, winter is coming, we also need to make thicker clothes.

Mr. Guo has been gone for several months, and there is no news now. Although the money and food stamps he left behind are still there, they need to be exchanged for supplies outside the mountains.

At this time, it was the autumn harvest. After the autumn harvest, we had to go up the mountain several times to determine the time to go out to the mountain based on the harvest, which made Mrs. Jin frown.

Tieniu has also seen his aunt's difficulties in the past few days, and for a while he had no choice. The growing process was too troublesome, and he didn't know how to solve this problem.

Fortunately, when several people were worrying, Mr. Guo came back. He came back by himself and carried a lot of things on his back. He was holding two things wrapped in white flour bags. The things were more than [-] centimeters long and very heavy.

Sisters Xiao Tieniu and Jinlan Jinzhu saw Mr. Guo coming back and happily greeted him. Xiao Tieniu didn't say anything. He stepped forward to take the thing he was holding. He felt his hands feel heavy, but soon he picked it up again and trotted away. Hug him back to the yard.

Mr. Guo returned to the house and took out the things one by one. He handed a cloth bag to Xiao Jinlan and asked him to take it home. It was obvious that it contained fabric for making clothes.

When Xiao Tieniu looked at the two face pockets opened, a shining golden naked bronze man appeared in front of several people. When Xiao Jinzhu saw the underside of the bronze man, his little face suddenly blushed and he covered it with his two little hands. Eye.

Little Tieniu stared closely at the small eyes all over the bronze man's body. Each small eye was on a different part of the bronze man's body. Grandpa Zhang once said that there are different acupuncture points and tendons on the human body.

Acupuncture points are fixed and can be found at fixed parts of the human body. No one has ever seen the tendons and meridians, and there is no specific explanation. They are only described in ancient books. They were spoken by ancient powers and compiled in ancient books.

He walked around the bronze man and touched the little eyes with his fingers, one by one. Some places were densely packed, and some places were alone, which puzzled him. What puzzled him even more was that in the ears, There are actually countless small eyes densely packed together.

He was confused and looked at Mr. Guo with gentle eyes. Mr. Guo had also been looking at Xiao Tieniu. Seeing Xiao Tieniu's obsessed look, his mind suddenly became enlightened and he understood Xiao Tieniu's thoughts. From washing his hair Bai took out a thread-bound book with rolled-up corners from his military backpack.

Little Tieniu opened the book and glanced at it, and was attracted by the descriptions and annotations inside. He sat next to the bronze man, reading a book, and groping for the little eyes of the bronze man. He didn't know how long it was until the sky gradually faded. When it got dark and I couldn't see the writing in the book, I reluctantly put it down.

My stomach growled unsatisfactorily, and the protests continued one after another.

At the dinner table, Mr. Guo talked about the interesting things about this trip. When he talked about the highlights, the two little girls leaned forward and back in joy. When he talked about the atmosphere, the little girl forgot to eat, clenched her little fists, and gritted her teeth.

This time, Mr. Guo told everyone about the outside world for the first time, and also let a few people understand the differences between the outside of this small mountain village and this place, as well as the foreign car that can be ridden on two wheels and four wheels. A big car with smoking wheels.

There are also habitable houses stacked on top of each other, iron lumps flying in the sky like big birds, and Tiananmen Square, which people yearn for.

Several people who have never left the small mountain village are full of longing for the world outside the small mountain village. They are also a little timid because of the irritating things in the outside world. They want to try to contact it, but they are afraid and yearning for it.

After eating, Xiao Tieniu opened the ancient book and started reading again. Until he was tortured by sleepiness, his eyes were sore and he couldn't open them, so he reluctantly put the ancient book neatly under his pillow. , fell asleep.

In his sleep, the old man with the white beard appeared in his sleep again. I don’t know if he read the ancient book during the day. The old man with the white beard began to explain the acupuncture points on the human body, the harm of each acupuncture point to the human body and the effect of acupuncture on the human body. The beauty of healing.

He explained the acupuncture points that should not be touched easily, and also talked about the different reactions of silver needles, the long and thin needles that are inserted into the body, which made the little Tieniu intoxicated until the urge to urinate woke him up. .

After breakfast, after standing at the pile for nearly two hours, Little Tieniu went into the room to study his bronze figure. The two sisters began to teach about antiques under the guidance of Mr. Guo, and the whole morning passed like this.

In the afternoon, the three siblings went to Grandpa Ke's place to study. Today, everyone except Fatty Liu was asked by the team to go weeding in the fields. Fatty Liu himself felt uncomfortable and dizzy.

Fatty Liu himself knew it was time to tell Little Tieniu where the treasure was hidden, because he was afraid that if one day he couldn't wake up, the hard work of those generations would be buried underground forever.

"Xiao Jinlan, you sisters go out first, I will talk to Xiao Tieniu about something." Fatty Liu said while looking at the two cute little girls.

The two little girls jumped out, leaving Xiao Tieniu and Xiao Tieniu alone. Fatty Liu gestured to Xiao Tieniu to close the door and waved. Xiao Tieniu held the poured glass of water and said respectfully Place it next to Fatty Liu.

"Tieniu, I am the eldest son of the Liu family in Shanghai. My family has been in business for generations. During the Anti-Japanese War, I donated money and materials to the country. I have never done anything to harm the nation or the people. In this world, I have been framed by bad people. Now, I My elderly parents could no longer bear the torture and passed away..." Fatty Liu muttered to himself. He was probably thirsty, so he picked up the water glass and took a sip.

"Before I was sent here, I buried the valuable things at home over the years..." As soon as Fatty Liu said this, Little Tieniu covered his mouth, and Little Tieniu shook his head.

"My child, I know what you mean. My health is getting worse and worse. I don't know when one day I will be unable to open my eyes again. During this period, I have observed you for a long time and know that you are a good boy. Accept it. Grandpa’s commission, the rest of my family are scattered all over the place, I don’t know if I can survive, alas.” Fatty Liu sighed after finishing speaking.

"Grandpa Liu, I asked my grandpa to see a doctor for you. He is very good. You must be fine." Xiao Tieniu's eyes were slightly red, which was the first time he rarely showed emotional fluctuations.

Fatty Liu once taught him a lot of experience in interacting with people. He knew how prudent and cautious Fatty Liu was. He was able to bury treasures deep in the ground when he knew that he was not in good health and was afraid to death. He willingly gave them to Myself, my mood is ups and downs.

"Son, yes, but you must agree to my request." Fatty Liu's eyes became determined.

"Okay, Grandpa Liu, I promise you." Xiao Tieniu nodded heavily and replied.

Fatty Liu looked quietly at the child in front of him who was incompatible with his age. What a heavy pressure this was. It was a sin to put such a heavy burden on a nearly three-year-old child.

"My hometown is in xxxx, Fujian Province. Before the accident, my father concluded that the world would be in chaos and had to secretly transport the family's wealth back to his hometown. Just before the accident, I rushed back to my hometown overnight and moved all the treasures hidden in the old house to [-] meters above the ancestor's grave. Under an old camphor tree, it was buried more than two meters deep in the ground..." Fatty Liu let out the secret that he had been holding back for many years, as if he had finally let it go, and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"Grandpa Liu, I made a note of it. When I grow up, I will help you get them back. I'm going to find grandpa now." After saying this, Xiao Tieniu was about to go out, but Fatty Liu grabbed him by the lapel.

"Little Tieniu, only the two of us know about this matter. Don't tell anyone. Remember what I taught you. Don't believe anyone." After Fatty Liu finished speaking, he seemed to have drained all the strength from his body and closed his mouth slightly. Eyes lying on the earthen bed.

Little Tieniu rushed out at once, as fast as a gust of wind. In more than [-] minutes, he pulled Mr. Guo back.

Mr. Guo looked at Fatty Liu who was lying on the fire bed. He opened his eyelids and took a look. After feeling his pulse, he took out the silver needle and started to apply the acupuncture. After a cup of tea, Fatty Liu woke up and looked at Mr. Guo with dull eyes. , glanced at the three children again.

"Mr. Guo, you have accepted a good apprentice, and there will be successors." Fatty Liu said with difficulty.

"Haha, this is my luck. Isn't it also the luck of you people? They are also the apprentices of you old guys." Mr. Guo teased with a smile.

"Okay, have a good rest. Your illness is not a serious one. I'll give you some herbs and you'll be fine in a few days." After Mr. Guo finished speaking, he left.

The three little guys stayed in the low and dilapidated hut until the others got off work and then went home.

Mr. Guo had cut the herbs and was steaming them on the fire. He smelled the aroma of the herbs coming from the earthen pot, and the little iron cow's saliva rolled in his mouth. This is why the family called him Greedy Cat.

After simmering for more than half an hour, Mr. Guo held the earthen jar with a rag, poured out the thick black medicinal soup, put it in a small basin, and smiled at Little Tieniu.
