The Master approached Chen Nong alone.

"I remember that you liked to read extracurricular books when you were a child."

Chen Nong never expected that at today's age, he would be in the embarrassing situation of being publicly executed.

He was extremely embarrassed, but could not get angry at his enlightenment teacher, so he could only lower his head and remain silent.

The Master said, "I have an important responsibility. You can try it."

A piece of origami was put into Chen Nong's hand, and the master patted him on the shoulder, "This is an opportunity."

Chen Nong didn't understand, but still bent over to thank him.

Return home.

Chen Nong first took his daughter to visit his wife who was ill in bed.

Seeing his wife crying with joy, but looking more energetic than in the morning, he was also happy, so he left the space for mother and daughter, and went to the kitchen to boil the medicine he bought.

As he was preparing the medicine, he remembered the waiter's request at the drug store. Chen Nong slapped his head. He couldn't be a person who broke his word. What's more, it wasn't the waiter who invited him to visit Si Ye's Mansion. Given his respect for Si Ye, Due to the government's skeptical attitude, they were afraid that they would not be able to get their daughter back in time.

Chen Nong planned to say hello to his wife and daughter first, and then go to the drug store to pass a message to the waiter.

When he returned home, he saw that his wife, who was bedridden, had actually gotten out of bed. She was holding her daughter's hand and talking, but she didn't look as weak as before.

"A Liang, are you okay?" Chen Nong was surprised and happy.

Mrs. Chen was angry, "Mei'er gave me medicine from Siye Mansion. She said these medicines were provided by Siye Mansion for free to help people survive the disaster."

Chen Nong looked at his wife's rosy face, and his tone lost confidence, "There is no good thing in the world that doesn't cost money, let alone Siye Mansion..." Facing the gazes of his wife and daughter, Chen Nong had some words that he couldn't say anymore, so he changed the subject. He said, "I am narrow-minded. I promised the waiter at the drug store that I would send him a message. I would come back as soon as I went."

Mrs. Chen did not dwell on her husband's mistakes and explained: "Now that we are out, let's go to Siye Mansion to have a look. Mei'er said that every suffering citizen can receive a copy of the medicine. If there are too many people in Siye Mansion, it will be inconvenient. , you can also go to the government office to get it."

Chen Nong agreed and went out.

He first went to the drug store to deliver the news to the waiter. After the waiter learned that he had no younger brother, he was just disappointed for a moment and then regained his energy and said to Chen Nong: "I will find a way to sell that medicine to you."

Chen Nong waved his hand: "No, I don't need it anymore."

"Okay." The waiter breathed a sigh of relief.

The shopkeeper opened the curtain and when he saw the two of them, he scolded the waiter angrily: "I invited you here to do work, not to chat with others."

The waiter kept his head down and made a small apology. When the shopkeeper lowered the curtain and went back to the back room, he cursed secretly, "I deserve to have no business, I deserve to not make any money. If Si Ye Mansion didn't recruit pharmacists, why would I still be here?" With."

After saying that, he found that Chen Nong was still where he was, and his expression changed, "You don't talk nonsense, do you?"

Chen Nong quickly shook his head, and then asked the question in his heart, "What do you mean, do you trust Siyefu very much? Siyefu didn't do anything in the past, but this time he is suddenly so philanthropic, so there is no need to worry about a conspiracy."

Instead, the waiter looked at him strangely, "You have too many evil thoughts. If Si Yefu wants to harm people, just ignore this disaster. Why bother?"

Chen Nong thought to himself, maybe he did bad things and wanted a good reputation.

He was walking on the road with a lot of thoughts, and when he heard that the people passing by were talking about topics related to Si Ye Mansion, his face became relaxed.

Unconsciously, I arrived at the gate of Siye Mansion again and stood in a long queue to receive medicine.

Bored while waiting in line, he opened the origami paper Fuzi had given him in his sleeve.

At the beginning, I wrote a call for essays, allowing interested writers to write more complete stories for the following nursery rhymes.

Nursery rhymes?

Could it be that the master is joking with him?

Thinking of Master Enlightenment's character, Chen Nong put this thought aside and looked down seriously.

[Grandpa is carrying a big toad on his back and wants to feed it worms...]

Why should a toad be so big that it needs to be carried? It was indeed a childish statement.

Chen Nong couldn't help but laugh, but his heart beat strangely faster. The words seemed to have a strange magic power that grabbed his eyes, making him unable to look away.

[Where are the bugs?]

The child's clear and innocent questioning voice echoed in my ears.

Where? Where?

[Looks down and sees that it’s me]

It’s yourself, it’s yourself~

Chen Nong's smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and goosebumps covered his arms.

[Grandma yells for dinner~]

Creaking.

The sticky sound of chewing and licking is getting closer and closer, and the child's voice is clear and innocent, responding to the distant mother-in-law's call.

Don't go, don't go.

Chen Nong roared with fear in his heart.

In a trance, I saw innocent children walking towards the monster's big mouth with ignorance and laughter, and finally walked into the darkness, and were swallowed up by the long tongue.

Creak, creak, creak——

[It turns out we are rice!]

The child's song sounded like crying or laughing, accompanied by the sticky sound of chewing and swallowing, echoing from the monster's belly.

"Hello!"

Chen Nong was pushed in the back.

He fell to the ground, his face turned pale, and his forehead was dripping with sweat.

The person behind him was startled, "I didn't use any force, don't try to blackmail me!"

The people in front and behind looked at him with accusing and suspicious eyes. This man felt even more aggrieved and shouted: "It was because he kept standing and refused to move that I pushed him. You can see for yourselves that there is a long distance between him and the one in front."

"What's the fuss about? Who's causing trouble?" Du Xingzhi ran over and glared at them.

No adult present looked down upon him. The man quickly pointed at Chen Nong and said, "He wants to blackmail someone!"

Du Xingzhi looked at Chen Nong, "You..."

"Ah——!" Chen Nong, who had not yet recovered from the erosion of some invisible terrifying aura, suddenly heard the voice of a child close at hand. He held his head and finally let out the panic that had been held in his throat for a long time.

"..." Du Xingzhi was so frightened that he jumped back.

The man behind quickly said: "That's it, he just blackmailed me like this."

Du Xingzhi was about to call someone to punish those who broke the rules when he suddenly saw the paper falling next to Chen Nong.

He picked it up and took a look at it, and he understood the reason for Chen Nong's strange behavior.

"Why are you adults so cowardly?" Du Xingzhi muttered.

Two Si Yefu disciples had already rushed to grab Chen Nong's arm. Du Xingzhi raised the paper in his hand and said, "Send him to the clerk's room." After saying that, he stuffed the paper back into Chen Nong's clothes.

Documentary room.

Chen Nong was sent in by the disciples of Siye Mansion and saw the Master and several other scholars sitting at the desk.

Seeing a familiar person, Chen Nong calmed down a lot.

The master came over and was not surprised when he saw his face. He whispered: "Have you finished reading the nursery rhyme?"

"..." Chen Nong's expression was at a loss for words, "I haven't finished reading yet."

The master paused, looked at his face again, and felt worried: half of his life has been lost before he finished reading it, how can he still read it? But there are too few people here who can bear to write it down.

Chen Nong: "Master, I'm afraid that nursery rhyme is different."

The Master nodded and told the truth, "Eight of them have been carried out here."

Chen Nong stared at the Master in disbelief.

The master explained, "Don't be afraid. If you risk your life, you can still get the longevity pill from Siye Mansion as compensation. Those literati are all voluntary. If they don't fail once, they won't be given a second time. After taking the pill, they want to come back and try it again."

try."

Chen Nong asked: "Jushou Dan is a medicine distributed by Si Yefu?"

Master: "Have you not received the medicine yet? What was given out was diluted medicine. Jushou Dan is a better thing."

Chen Nong has been hit many times today and does not want to mention his suspicions about Si Yefu again.

The Master did not ask further questions, but when it came to business, he asked, "Are you still doing polishing articles?"

After experiencing the horror just now, Chen Nong was still frightened when he thought about it. His scalp was dripping with sweat. He trembled on his lips and said, "Do it."

The Master, who had already predicted rejection from his expression, was about to persuade him again when the words reached his tongue before he realized what he was hearing.

"Um?"
