In Julu City, there is a group of buildings northwest of the city lord's palace. It is the only one in the city that has a relatively intact house. The women's and children's camp and the wounded soldiers' camp are all stationed here.

While the entire army was busy, only the women, children and wounded soldiers did not need to participate in any labor and were very comfortable.

Every day, all the children in the army learn to write, and today is no exception.

In the women's and children's camp, young children could be heard reading while reading, and the pleasant children's voices rippled in the quiet winter snow, warm and quiet.

In one of the tents, the curtain door was tightly covered. Inside the tent, a cart stood upright, and a long wooden board was hung on the cart.

On the long wooden board, many words were written with lime water from top to bottom. These are the words I learned today.

The teacher led the children to read the words over and over again, and the children followed the reading over and over again.

Finally, the teacher asked the children to write by themselves. The children took out their sand trays, patted the clean river sand in the sand trays flat, and then took long or short sticks and rubbed them on the sand trays.

The pen strokes followed the words on the wooden board and wrote.

Most of the children have a very serious attitude towards learning and follow the strokes carefully. When the teacher walked up to Xiao Bian, he saw that Xiao Brick was not writing and was just scribbling on the sand table.

The teacher opened his mouth and wanted to scold him, but finally held back.

Because Xiao Zhuan is Li Mengxi's younger brother, and because of Li Mengxi's relationship, the teacher did not dare to criticize Xiao Zhuan too harshly.

The teacher shook his head helplessly and left.

"Xiao Zhuan," Zhang Ning secretly laughed at her side, and she touched Xiao Bian's arm lightly, "The teacher asked me to write, so you can't draw graffiti." Zhang Ning said softly.

Xiao Zhuan was not happy. He stopped, looked at Sister Ning, pouted, and explained seriously, "I don't have any graffiti! I just want to see what this character looks like. My brother said, whatever it looks like is what it looks like."

Character."

Speaking of his brother, Xiao Bian was very proud. "Look," Xiao Bian pointed at the messy things drawn on the sand table to Zhang Ning.

"Huh?" Zhang Ning smiled, reached out and touched Xiao Bian's head, and leaned over to take a look.

"Look, this character is a tree with a mouth on the side. The wood is a branch, and the mouth is a mouth.

But if you add a branch to the mouth, I don’t know what it is.”

Xiao Bian frowned, with a thoughtful look on his face. After thinking like this for a long time, Xiao Bian dug out a branch with thorns from a wooden box on the side. This is

Branches of the pepper tree.

In the depth of winter, apart from pines and cypresses, only the evergreen pepper trees in Julu City are still green. There are thorns on the pepper trees. Children like to scare others with the thorns of the pepper trees.

The small branch that Xiao Bian took out happened to have a small leaf on it.

"Look," Xiao Zhuan brought the branch to Zhang Ning and showed it to Zhang Ning, "[wood] is the branch, and there is a circle on the branch. The circle is not the [mouth], not the mouth, but this thing growing on the branch."

As he said this, Xiao Bian touched the leaves of Zanthoxylum bungeanum with his fingers, "That's why the word means leaf. The leaf means a circle growing next to the wood. The circle is the leaf, so the word is leaf."

Zhang Ning looked at the clever little brick in surprise. It turned out that the word "leaf" came from this, no wonder it was written like this.

Therefore, Xiao Bian is not just doodling, he is just thinking about fonts.

At this time, when the class was in full swing, someone came, opened the curtain door and walked in.

As soon as the curtain door was opened, the cold wind blew in immediately, and all the children in the tent turned around to look.

Li Mengxi saw his younger brother among the bunch of little heads. When he saw Zhang Ning was there, right next to his younger brother, and the two were very close, Li Mengxi was a little surprised.

When the teacher saw Li Mengxi coming, he hurried over to greet him.

"I'm here to find Xiao Bian." Li Mengxi pointed at Xiao Bian and said a little embarrassed for disturbing the class.

Amidst the envious eyes of other children, Xiao Bian happily left with Li Mengxi.

After leaving the tent, Li Mengxi excitedly said to his brother, "Let's go see the big tiger that my brother made."

After saying that, he looked at Zhang Ning who was standing there quietly. The wind blew over and made the hair on her forehead flutter. Li Mengxi showed a big smile and said, "Sister Ning, you come with us too."

Bar."

Li Mengxi took the initiative to invite him, and Zhang Ning naturally followed Li Mengxi.

Outside the city, in the camp, Li Mengxi took Xiao Zhuan and Zhang Ning to the middle of the camp. When they arrived, a bunch of people were surrounding them and they didn't know what they were doing. Li Mengxi led the two of them and squeezed into the middle. Xiao Zhuan immediately screamed.

Got up.

"Wow! Big tiger!" Xiao Bian exclaimed.

On the ground, a vivid tiger carved from snow lay lying on the ground. The tiger's withered form was very charming and majestic.

After seeing the good stuff, Li Mengxi couldn't wait to share it with his younger brother, so he called his younger brother over to see it together.

The Snow Tiger was the work of a skilled craftsman in the army. This craftsman was the same man who used wood to carve the tiger's head.

Li Mengxi originally wanted to build a snowman to play with his brother, but he tried to build it, but it didn't work well and was too ugly. Then he remembered that there was someone in the army who was good at withering tigers, so he called that person over to help, and withered out

Such a powerful Xue withered.

Xiao Zhuan liked the snow tiger very much. He looked around and touched it for a long time.

Then, Xiao Bian ran over and did not speak to Li Mengxi directly. Instead, he raised his head and said to Zhang Ning next to him, "Sister Ning, is the tiger my brother got for me? Do you want the tiger or not? Let my brother also

Give you one."

Li Mengxi smiled, and Zhang Ning also laughed.

Following his brother's words, Li Mengxi asked with a smile, "Sister Ning, do you want a tiger? I'll find someone to make another one."

If you are a child, how can you take it seriously? "No, no, no!" Zhang Ning blushed and quickly refused.

I called Xiao Bian out just to see the snow tiger, nothing else.

Li Mengxi couldn't help but look at Zhang Ning and then at Xiao Zhuan. He was curious about how the two became familiar with each other.

Zhang Ning and Xiao Zhuan are familiar with each other because of their relationship with Li Mengxi. Li Mengxi often takes Xiao Zhuan here and there, especially the Women and Children Camp and the Wounded Soldiers Camp. As for Zhang Ning, because Zhang Ning has medical skills, Li Mengxi took him there before.

Zhang Ning arranged to go to the wounded barracks to help.

Then the wounded barracks and the women and children camp were next to each other. On weekdays, there was nothing to do. The children were in class all day long and often recited poems. Zhang Ning also wanted to go to school, but she was too embarrassed to go, so she went with Xiao Bian.

, just like this, the two people who had already known each other became more familiar.

In the final analysis, in Li Mengxi, Zhang Ning first knew that Xiao Zhuan was Li Mengxi's younger brother, and then naturally came into contact with Xiao Zhuan like his own family members, loving the house and the bird.

Although the snow tiger is majestic and the bricks are very small, you can jump around and play with the tiger for a long time, but for the two older children Li Mengxi and Zhang Ning, just looking at it is boring.

It was awkward to stand there bored, so Li Mengxi took the initiative to find something to say. At first, Li Mengxi was mostly asking questions and Zhang Ning was answering. After that, the two started chatting and laughing.

Among the crowd around, there was a burly and sturdy soldier. This soldier was a bit taller than the people around him. The soldier saw Zhang Ning from a distance and looked a little excited. He squeezed out of the crowd and squeezed closer.

, hesitated again and again, and finally called out, "Ning Ning!"

The big man shouted.
Chapter completed!
