The day when the white horse roared and the west wind was reborn

The "Mulberry" incident made the relationship between Wenxiu and Ma Jiajun seem to have improved a lot. The main reason is that Wenxiu unilaterally expressed friendship to Ma Jiajun, while Ma Jiajun, who was wearing a human skin mask, still looked dead. I don't know if it is the relationship between the mask or nature. , He still talks so little, and after getting along for a long time, he seems to be more like a language teacher at a university. He will guide Wenxiu's Kazakh language regularly, and let Wenxiu digest it by herself after speaking, and he will not give too much guidance.

Fortunately, Wenxiu worked hard, otherwise, following such an unqualified teacher, learning to speak Kazakh fluently would have to wait for the "Year of the Monkey".

I have lived here for a long time. Although Wenxiu does not speak, some Kazakh women still know Wenxiu in daily contacts. Most of them are widowed women who have no husbands and sons. Most of them have a friendly attitude towards Wenxiu, and are not as resistant as men. Women will teach Wenxiu some things, such as weaving and sewing, and some simple patterns. The very popular embroidery method of cross-stitch embroiders some small patterns, and then communicates with those Kazakh women to practice oral English.

Ma Jiajun doesn't care about her daily communication, or in other words, he doesn't care about her affairs at all. Wenxiu is very satisfied with this completely free stocking state. If Ma Jiajun really treats her like a child and doesn't let herself do this or that, she Instead, you will feel uncomfortable.

Wenxiu began to try to sow some wheat seeds in a small field behind the tent. She didn't know how to grow crops, and she didn't know when to water and when to get rid of insects. She could only rely on observation and see what others did. Go back and try.

This idea was accidentally known by the wise and powerful Grandpa Ji. That afternoon, he took a bag of seeds home and threw it to the stunned Wenxiu, and then said very coolly, "The food will be handed over to you in the future, don't waste me. "The land", hurriedly walked away.

The Kazakhs are generally nomadic, and farming is not their main means of earning a living. They don't seem to care much about the farmers in the field. Ma Jiajun doesn't know much about farming. Wenxiu can't count on him, so he can only look at it every now and then. Just a few days after they were planted, Li Wenxiu saw small shoots sprouting from those seeds. Seeing this scene, Wenxiu was very happy. They call Wenxiu "the Han Chinese who were punished by Allah" in a vicious voice. Maybe they are not bad in nature, and most of them are even quite kind, such as Uncle Su Luke whose wife and eldest son died at the hands of Han people, but Wenxiu still doesn't like it. "A hot face sticks a cold butt", she thinks it's better to live her own life behind closed doors.

I remember that when the university professor gave a lecture, he mentioned that Li Wenxiu, the heroine of "White Horse", was not well-educated. Except that her parents had taught her to read and write before she was seven or eight years old, no one taught her after she came back to Xinjiang. He knew a few words, but "Grandpa Ji", that is, Ma Jiajun's master, was an all-rounder in civil and military affairs. From this, the professor deduced that Ma Jiajun was not illiterate, but he was afraid of attracting attention, so he never taught Li Wenxiu.

After contacting Wenxiu for a long time, I found that the professor was right. Ma Jiajun is indeed a "literate person". Every time he finishes brewing wine, he can't help but read a few poems about "wine". Some Wenxiu knows, and some Wenxiu doesn't. , not repeating every time, which made Li Wenxiu very admired. Although modern education has put emphasis on "ancient prose" education in recent years, most college students, like Wenxiu, know the few poems on the exam syllabus.

So when he heard Ma Jiajun recite poems, Wenxiu was in admiration, both civil and military, a talent!

"Lanling's fine wine and tulips, and the jade bowl filled with opal light. But the owner can make the guest drunk, and I don't know where is another land."

With a voice full of vicissitudes, Wenxiu knew that Ma Dacai had brewed a new jar of wine, but this time there seemed to be a change, instead of leaving with the wine, she raised her head and looked at Wenxiu.

Having been together day and night for nearly a year, Wenxiu still respects this cheap grandpa, and sometimes she even thinks that the other party is really an old man much older than herself.As an only child, under the exam-oriented education, apart from studying, Wenxiu's life itself is very simple. Traveling through time and experiencing bloody incidents made her grow up quickly, but her living environment is still too clean, compared with the disguised Ma Jiajun. , Wenxiu seems to have not grown up.

During this time, Ma Jiajun had seldom stared at him with that kind of scrutiny. Wenxiu was still not used to being caught by such eyes, and looked at Ma Jiajun uncomfortably, wanting to hear what he had to say.

I only heard Ma Jiajun ask: "Did you be taught to read at home?"

Wenxiu's breathing stopped, and her heart began to beat wildly. He asked her if she could read or not, and many thoughts went through her mind, but she didn't know if she thought that way. If she could speak like Ma Jiajun, it would be great. Leaving this ghostly place can also get rid of the hat of illiteracy, and maybe become a generation of talented women...

Well, after running away, she was dreaming again.

Trying to calm her beating heart, Wenxiu said, "My mother taught me a little bit."

Not only can I read, but I have also studied for more than ten years. I am an authentic cultural person, but I am illiterate here!

Thinking about modern things, Wenxiu felt a little sour in her heart. Her parents, her university, I am the child you will never go back~

Ma Jiajun looked at Wenxiu's reddish eyes, thinking that she was thinking of her deceased parents, and there was a little pity in her eyes, "I can teach you how to read."

After she finished speaking, she turned her eyes and said sharply, "It's just that you must promise me, don't let others know that I taught you!"

Although she trembled in fright from that terrifying gaze, Wenxiu still nodded solemnly, expressing that I will definitely comply with your request!

As the first teacher, Ma Jiajun is really not very qualified. Just like teaching languages, he just took a branch and wrote a few words on the ground, and left. No, he didn't talk about any of the works that are popular in later generations, but he actually taught her to "literate"!

This teacher is really unqualified!

The difference between the characters at this time and the traditional characters of later generations is not very big, Wenxiu has no problem memorizing them, probably because of habit, it is always easy to miss a few gestures, but after a long time of practice, this will not happen. At the beginning, Ma Jiajun still showed a surprised expression, but after a long time, he seemed to get used to it, teaching more and more characters, and the progress was getting faster and faster.

Three months later, Ma Jiajun said to Wenxiu, I will teach you everything that needs to be taught, so be it.

At this time, Wen Xiucai realized that this is not modern times, "equality between men and women" is bullshit, and the idea of ​​"a woman without talent is virtue" is probably deeply ingrained. This Ma Jiajun is a Han, and he can only be more feudal than a minority. It is impossible to follow him to learn cultural knowledge.

Thinking of this, she resigned herself to her fate, gave up the idea of ​​being a "cultural person", and refocused on farming. Maybe if she continued to study like this, she could become the ancient Yuan Longping, Wenxiu thought wildly.

In fact, Wenxiu really wronged Ma Jiajun. Since he promised to teach her, he naturally wanted to teach her the best, but he fled here to hide his name, and there was no written material around him to teach Wenxiu. If he wrote it out, he would be afraid of children's mouth He didn't strictly say anything to cause unnecessary trouble, so he could only teach her to read and write. He thought that Wenxiu seemed to be quite talented in this area. There is no need, in his eyes, Zhongxiu is at best a precocious child.

The two people's thoughts were completely different, which led to the infinite shelving of Wenxiu culture, shelving...

It is really difficult to be a cultural person in ancient times!
