Time Traveling: I Engaged in City Defense in Ancient Times

After so many days, the two little ones are obviously not as yellow and thin as before, especially Lin Geer, who is forced to drink a bowl of goat milk every day.

Brother Lin frowned while hugging half a bowl of goat milk left, "Brother Cheng, I can't drink any more."

"Hey, finish drinking," Ji Cheng insisted on his drinking milk.

"I really can't drink it." Even with sugar, Lin Ge'er can't lose the smell of sheep, "Is it okay not to drink?"

It's the time of the daily see-saw of drinking milk again, Ji Cheng's tone of voice can make people's teeth sore, Yang Huai puts away the table with a wink, and then leaves the room quickly.

Ji Cheng persevered in persuading: "Be obedient, drink this and grow up."

"Well," Brother Lin shook his head like a rattle, "No."

"You just have to finish drinking the goat milk, and I'll take you to the city tomorrow," Ji Cheng threw out the bait.

Lin Geer, who has only been to the city twice, heard that he was going to the city, and his eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"Really, when did I lie to you?" Ji Cheng dragged the bottom of the bowl to his mouth, "Finish it soon."

Brother Lin took a deep breath, pinched his nose and gulped down the goat milk, Ji Cheng said, "Give me the bowl."

Brother Lin has long been familiar with Ji Cheng's behavior of washing and cooking. After Ji Cheng cleaned up the kitchen, there was a piece of black charcoal left over from the fire in his hand, "Xiao Linzi, stand against the wall for a while."

He straightened Lin Ge'er's shoulders, and then drew a black line on the wall facing his head, "Measure once a month from now on, and after a long time, you will have to thank me for letting you drink goat's milk."

His height is not considered short among brothers, Lin Geer, who is both male, naturally wants to be taller, he said: "Can drinking goat milk really make you grow taller? Can you grow as tall as you? "

The boy raised his head and looked at him expectantly, his eyes were bright, and every eyelash could be seen clearly, Ji Cheng's heart seemed to be tugged by something, and it felt a little itchy.

"Drink more, maybe you can grow taller than me," Ji Cheng said inexplicably hot.

"Can we discuss it, so we don't need such a big bowl," Lin Ge'er muttered softly.

"If you want to drink, you can drink it. There will be so many words." Ji Cheng turned up the volume as if impatient. He didn't know where the irritability came from, so he left the room in a panic after speaking.

Lin Ge'er was stunned on the spot by his throat, there seemed to be something blocked in his chest, which made him very uncomfortable.He blamed himself in his heart, why he was not obedient even though he was dependent on others.

Ji Cheng was wandering around the village, his whole body was filled with boredom, he wandered to the entrance of the village far away and saw Xu Lian talking with a man, the man saw someone coming, and awkwardly withdrew the hand that fell on Xu Lian's head .

"Ah...Ah Cheng? I heard you were injured?" The man rubbed the corner of his clothes unnaturally.

"Brother Dashan?" Ji Cheng searched for this face in his memory. This is the eldest son of the patriarch's family. The old patriarch only had him in his 40s. Xu Dashan has been running a business outside these years and has never returned.

"It's so fast, you're already this tall," Xu Dashan said in a more natural tone, "I heard you got married."

"Brother Dashan," Ji Cheng remembered, Yang Huai told his mother that Yang Yong went out with the caravan in the city, and if he lied, he would be punished, especially Yang Huai's mother had been ill for so long, and she couldn't survive. Not wanting to be excited, he said: "Brother Dashan, I want to ask you to do me a favor."

Xu Lian, who had been playing with his fingers with his head down, suddenly pulled Xu Dashan's little finger and began to shake, "Brother Dashan, I still want to eat sweet cakes."

A red cloud quickly appeared on the young man's face, even though Ji Cheng was at the side, he still whispered to Xu Lian, "Lian'er, don't eat today, my stomach will hurt if I eat too much sweet cake."

"Stomach pain?" Xu Lian asked ignorantly.

"Well, my stomach will hurt." Xu Dashan looked at Xu Lian with guilt in his focused eyes.

"Stomach hurts, don't."

"What can I do for you?" Xu Dashan asked.

He told Xu Dashan about Yang Huai's family in a few sentences, and said: "If anyone in the village asks, please ask Brother Dashan to help. Grandma Yang's illness can't stand the stimulation."

"Of course, we are neighbors in the same village. Yang Yong and I also grew up together," Xu Dashan paused and said, "Xu Lian and I played together since childhood, and now he has become like this. Just now... .”

"Brother Dashan, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense." Ji Cheng hesitated for a moment, but still spoke out what he was thinking. "Brother Dashan, there is a difference between a brother and a man after all, so you should pay more attention in the future."

Clothes can be worn out, but cannot be pointed out by others.A gossip in the farmhouse can kill a person, although brothers' status is not as high as women's, but the world's demands on them are only a lot more than women's.

In the cool autumn night, Ji Cheng looked at the back of Geer Lin's head, and silently recited in his heart the "The Doctrine of the Mean" that he was going to recite today. '

'That's why a gentleman...is that...'

There are less than ten sentences in the ancient prose, and I can't continue after the third sentence.Usually, he and Lin Ge'er chatted before going to bed, either about what to eat the next day, or what vegetables to grow at home next year, in short, there were endless topics to talk about.

Sometimes two people fall asleep at night and wake up the next day to cover a quilt together.

But it has never been like today, the two of them looked at each other without saying a word, Ji Cheng sighed in his heart, and he tapped Brother Lin's shoulder with his finger.

Lin Ge'er's body froze obviously, but he still didn't turn his head. He nodded again, but the man still didn't respond.Ji Cheng thought of warning Xu Dashan that there is a difference between a man and brother, should he and Brother Lin also pay attention to the distance.

Just when Ji Cheng was about to fall asleep in a daze, the thin shoulders on the opposite side began to tremble slightly, Lin Ge'er's quilt covered his head at some point, and the shaking in the quilt continued.

As soon as Ji Cheng pulled him over, Brother Lin bit his quilt and cried, his nose turned red, and Ji Cheng's heart suddenly collapsed. He couldn't care about the distance or the difference.

He hugged her in his arms and coaxed him softly: "Brother is wrong, brother shouldn't yell at you, stop crying, stop crying."

Lin Ge'er closed his eyes, biting the corner of the quilt so tightly that he didn't even cry. Ji Cheng's heart hurt as if someone was pinching him. He coaxed him word by word, but the person in his arms seemed to be crying even more fiercely.

Ji Cheng gently pulled the quilt out of Lin Ge'er's mouth, held his face and wiped away the tears on his cheeks, "Don't cry, don't cry, brother won't kill you in the future, you want to drink You can drink whatever you want, if you don’t want to drink, don’t drink, okay?”

Brother Lin closed his eyes and bit his lips, trying to control his breathing. He didn't know what was wrong with him. He had never been so sad when his uncle beat and scolded him in his own home, but Ji Cheng yelled at him. It's a pity that I can't do it.

Ji Cheng hugged him even with the quilt in his arms, and it took a while for Geer Lin to free himself, and said in a wet voice, "Hot."

"Okay, okay," he said, but the strength on his arm was only a little loose.Brother Lin faced his chest, almost out of breath. He raised his head with a heavy nasal voice: "Brother Cheng, stop hugging me, I'm sleepy and I want to sleep."

Ji Cheng didn't know whether it was right to let go or not to let go. Between letting go and not letting go, he chose to tighten his arms, "Just sleep like this."

"Hot," Lin Ge'er couldn't break free, so he could only arch his body.

"Then cover it with a quilt and it won't be hot," Ji Cheng tore off the quilt from Lin Ge'er, then stuffed him into his quilt and hugged him tightly again.

Two thumping hearts, one nervous enough, the other apprehensive.

After a long while, Lin Ge'er's breathing gradually stabilized, and just when Ji Cheng thought he was falling asleep, he said, "Brother Cheng, don't you be cruel to me in the future, okay?"

Ji Cheng's heart couldn't be softer, he didn't dare to bully this little ancestor anymore, so he could only resign himself to his fate and said, "It won't happen again in the future."

Because he was going to the city the next day, Geer Lin woke up very early, and when he was about to get dressed, Ji Cheng pressed him back into the warm bed, "Lie down for a while, I'll cook."

Ji Cheng's trauma is almost healed. For breakfast, the leftovers from yesterday were reheated. He made some delicious egg pancakes with white flour, eggs, and green onions.

After breakfast, he took Xu Erkui's car to the city. Yang Huai didn't follow him because he had nothing to buy. For the first time, Xu Erkui stopped preaching to Ji Cheng and had a smiling face, "If you don't be my wife when you come back, car, go to the back door of the restaurant and talk to the guy."

The smiling face of Xu Erkui's Ji Cheng was terrified, and he thought to himself that you are still talking with a straight face, such a smile is too creepy.

"Thank you, Brother Erkui," Ji Cheng said.

The morning they came, most of the shops in the city were not open, so Ji Cheng took Lin Geer to stroll around. Lin Geer had never been in the city before, looking to the left and then looking at his eyes, it seemed that his eyes were not enough, he was too busy. Those who come here look at new sights that have never been seen before.

Now that the family's financial power is in the hands of Brother Lin, Ji Cheng wants to buy him some small things to play with, but all of them are ruthlessly rejected.

When he arrived at the bookstore, Ji Cheng really lamented that it was not easy for ancient people to study. He bought all four books that he lacked, and it cost a total of one tael of silver. I can only grit my teeth and buy the printed version.

He flipped through the copybooks, and found that the ones sent by the village head at home and those bought by the bookstore were all in pavilion style, so he didn't buy new ones.

One hundred sheets of paper for one knife, eighty cash for jute paper, two hundred cash for bamboo leaf paper, and one tael of silver for one knife for rice paper.Paper is so expensive, Ji Cheng feels that his writing is not even worthy of the cheapest [-]-character jute paper.

The original owner had a piece of inkstone from his father and mother, because he was going to surf on Xiaolu Island, and he sold it at a low price of less than a tael of silver.Now the inkstones that can be seen in bookstores cost more than two taels of silver.

Ji Cheng picked the cheapest jute paper for two knives and four books. The inkstone was too expensive and he bought a piece of graphite with 760 cash to replace it. The total cost was [-] cash.

Even Ji Cheng, who spends money and big feet, feels a little bit pained this trip, but Lin Geer seems to be very calm, he doesn't hesitate when paying the money, which makes him have the illusion of being taken care of.
