The Multiverse Starting from White Deer Plain

After eating, clean up the stove together.

A late class session passed quickly.

Xu Xiucai was teaching as usual, and he didn't treat Bai Gui with any special care, as if he had forgotten about his apprenticeship at noon today. Because the teacher has strict requirements, all the Meng children in the school study hard, and it is rare to see anyone disrupting the class.

"Ignorant, ignorant, and ignorant people are criticized. It's so wrong to say that you can help someone."

After finishing the last two lines of the Thousand-Character Prose, Bai Gui let out a breath and relaxed a little. With the knowledge from his previous life and his good memory in this life, he finally completed the entire Thousand-Character Essay.

Learned how to write a thousand traditional Chinese characters.

"Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat."

With the Thousand-Character Essay as a foundation, Bai Gui felt that he could access other elementary education textbooks again. He planned to return the Thousand-Character Essay to Lu Zhaopeng in two days.

Now he felt that he could go further and continue to study other books of enlightenment.

"Are you asking Zhou Yuan to borrow a book, or are you asking the Lu brothers to borrow a book?"

Bai Gui was a little embarrassed.

The Lu brothers are his bosses. Although they are good people, it is still difficult for him to accept the feeling of being inferior to others, so he alienates the Lu brothers.

From this point of view, he and Lu Zhaoqian are similar.

Zhou Yuan had just met him not long ago. Although he seemed cheerful and cheerful, he also had his own little plans.

Borrow books. If you don't, the relationship you just established will be broken, and it may be a little difficult to get along with you later. It is not easy to ask for help when you have just made friends, otherwise it will be easy for people to think that you are too utilitarian.

He didn't think Zhou Yuan was wrong about this. His friendship with Zhou Yuan hadn't reached the level of borrowing books.

The ancients valued books and would not lend them to people other than relatives and friends.

A book is worth a lot of money, costing only a few dollars. A book with good printing and typesetting will cost a few dollars.

"Preface to Sending Ma Sheng to Dongyang" writes: "Every time I borrow it from the house where the book is collected. I write it down by hand and count the days to return it... When I send it off, I don't dare to exceed the appointment."

Borrowers must be cautious and frightened.

This shows how precious and valuable books are.

"Brother Gui, here's the crystal cake. It's from De Maogong. You can try it."

Just when Bai Gui was hesitating to write, Lu Zhaopeng next door handed him a snack.

get out of class is over now, and all the Meng children in the school are preparing to pack their bags and go home.

"Thank you very much, young master. I'm not hungry..."

Just when Bai Gui was about to refuse politely, he hesitated for a while and chose to take the snack, wrap it in a piece of oil paper and put it in his schoolbag.

"Brother Gui, why don't you eat it? This De Mao Gong is a royal tribute. The Queen Mother and the Emperor took refuge in Xi'an. They parked their cars on Guangji Street and hand-picked it as a tribute. De Mao Gong has been sold in recent years. It’s hot and hard to find a box of.”

Lu Zhaopeng frowned.

De Maogong Dim Sum Shop was founded in the 11th year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty. It takes the words "Mao" and "De" from the sentence "Yu Mao Nai De, Jia Nai Pi Ji" in "Shang Shu Dayu Mo". It is a famous Qin Dynasty snack shop. Pastries.

"Young Master, I've almost finished reading this thousand-character text. Can you borrow other enlightenment books?" Bai Gui deliberately changed the subject and did not talk more.

"Oh? Yes, yes!"

Lu Zhaopeng suddenly realized that Bai Gui had probably never eaten this snack before. He must have chewed it carefully after getting it. How could he gobble it up like him? This was because he had not thought carefully about it.

When he heard Bai Gui say that he wanted to borrow a book, he was surprised and said: "You have only been able to study this thousand-character essay for a few days. Will you be a little anxious if you borrow other enlightenment books?"

He used to read books just to feel fresh, and then he would read the next book.

He couldn't help but persuade him: "The enlightenment book is to lay a solid foundation, not to aim too high."

Having said that, Lu Zhaopeng did not reject Bai Gui's request. He took out another "Disciple Rules" from the desk and handed it to Bai Gui, "Remember, you must remember..."

It always gets dark earlier in winter. As soon as I got out of class, I felt a little gloomy.

When the Meng boys had just walked three or four steps out of the school, a high-pitched howl of wolves could be heard in the distance, as well as the scolding and frightening sounds of three or four villagers.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Xu..."

Seven or eight villagers walked into the ancestral hall holding torches and shouting "Xu Xiucai". Some of them were holding machetes, some were holding red-tasseled guns, and some were holding blunderbuss.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

Xu Xiucai frowned, feeling that something was not right.

"There are wolves. Someone from the next village just came to report that some domestic animals had their throats bitten off and a lamb was lost in the village. So they came over to inform the neighbors and let us take precautions."

said the countryman.

The Qing Dynasty implemented the Baojia system and the Lijia system, which stipulated that every ten households, regardless of state, county, city, or township, had one tile and one tile chief. Ten cards are one armor, and one armor is long. Ten armors are one guarantee, and one guarantee is long. A stamp board is hung at the door of each household, with the name of the household and the number of households written on it. The Lijia system was established on the basis of the Ming Dynasty. One li was divided into 110 households. Among these 110 households, the one who paid the most taxes was the li chief.

It can be said that the Qing Dynasty was the dynasty that had the strictest control over the grassroots, which was to prevent rebellion.

But similarly, the Baojia system and the Lijia system can also help deal with such emergencies.

When a village discovers traces of wolves, it sends people to notify the entire township.

Although some villagers are simple and honest, a considerable part of the reason is also related to tax payment. If the wolf disaster is not reported well and property is lost, the village where the wolf disaster was first discovered will bear the responsibility.

Before anyone could react, the clan leaders Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin hurried over, beating the gong, looking anxious. They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that their children were intact.

"Listen to me, the wolf is coming now. Don't be in a hurry, Zilin. You take the strong men from the village to patrol first, and then you and the rest of the people will send the children back to their homes."

Bai Jiaxuan said.

Naturally, no one had any objections.

No matter what happens, women and children are the most important and should be protected the most.

Bai Gui was also protected and returned to the Lu family.

He lay on the fire bed, feeling a little worried.

When meeting the wild wolf, the long-term workers Bai Youde, Liu Mouer and others must have gone up first, while big bosses such as Bai Jiaxuan and Lu Zilin were in charge of the command and could not easily be injured.

At the end of the Qing Dynasty, wild animals were inevitable in and around the countryside. It was not until after the founding of the People's Republic of China that in order to preserve agricultural production and safeguard people's safety, these wild animals such as wild wolves were exterminated and were not seen for decades.

Bailuyuan is close to the Qinling Mountains, which is rich in wildlife resources.

Now that the snow has stopped, the wolves also need to forage, so it is normal to go down the mountain to the plains.

The commotion probably reached two quarters of the Yin hour.

Bai Gui, who was half-squinting his eyes, heard the sound of the wooden door, and Bai Youde, who looked tired, tiptoed cautiously and walked over.

He suddenly said: "Dad, there is a piece of snack placed on the head of the kang. It belongs to De Maogong. You can try it."

The reason why he refused to eat the De Maogong snacks given to him by Lu Zhaopeng was because Bai Youde bought the De Maogong snacks from Xi'an after a day's journey, and Bai Youde never took a bite.

"Dad is not hungry. Dad has eaten. This snack is a tribute. It is a good thing. If you are tired from studying, you can eat it."

Bai Youde touched Bai Gui's forehead and coughed lightly.

"No, Dad, the young master gave me two snacks, look."

Bai Gui held the lamp in his hand. Under the dim light, there was another snack in the palm of his open hand.

Exactly the same, no big changes.

"Then dad will eat it."

Bai Youde chewed the snacks carefully. He ate very patiently. It seemed that it was the first time he tasted such delicious and sweet food, and his grooved face relaxed a little.

He looked unseemly when he ate it, and the meringue that fell on his hands was licked clean by him.
