Zhenguan two years, September.
In the forest at Laoyukou of Qinling Mountains.
"Da da da"
Two white horses strolled leisurely along the tree-lined path, following the Laoyu River.
The leader was a man in a tight suit and holding a huge bow. He smiled as he looked at the surrounding forest.
"The hunting ground in Chang 'an is a bit too' peaceful'. In order to prevent me from being in any danger, they only kept deer in it and drove away the wild boars. Without the wildness of the autumn hunt, what fun was there to speak of?”
The middle-aged man, who was half a meter behind, was on guard against the movements around him. He smiled bitterly and said,
" Your Majesty is the ruler of a country. Your safety is the most important…"
Li Shimin snorted." When I was young, I caught a bear and shot a tiger. If you don't believe me, you can ask Cheng Yaojin. Back then, in the Wagang Stronghold, I heard that there was a startled bird hundreds of miles away. I quickly determined that there was a bear in the mountains. In the blink of an eye, I picked up an eight-picul bow and shot an arrow through the bear's eye from a mile away..."
Zhangsun Wuji looked helplessly at Li Shiming and smiled bitterly in his heart.
His Majesty was good at everything. Even if he liked to pretend, there was no way to refute him…
At this moment, the two of them saw a thatched house in front of them. Zhangsun Wuji immediately became vigilant. However, when he saw a few herb gatherers 'passing by' around the thatched cottage, he immediately felt relieved.
Although they had come to Laoyukou, the Black Armored Army had already searched the mountain and eliminated all the dangers before sending Li Shiming here. The houses that appeared here had probably been checked long ago, right?
Li Shi Min also saw the thatched house and said lightly,""Did I disturb the residents?"
Zhangsun Wuji quickly cupped his hands.”
"Let's go," Li Shimin nodded slightly.”
The two of them rode their white horses forward. When they arrived at the door and tied the horse, Li Shimin looked up at the thatched lintel and was instantly amused.
"Li Residence? Hahaha, a mere thatched cottage in a wild mountain is actually called a residence?”
Zhangsun Wuji also smiled. This thatched cottage was extremely dilapidated. Even the wooden door was so rotten that it could be broken with a kick. The earth wall was full of holes from the rats, and a single room in the courtyard was made of straw and rammed earth. It was covered in spider webs.
This could also be called a mansion?
However, after laughing, Zhangsun Wuji looked again. The words 'Li Residence' raised his eyebrows.
"Good handwriting. His writing style had the style of a great master, but it was still immature. It should be written by a child."
Li Shi Min was reminded and noticed this phenomenon. He observed the word carefully again and suddenly sighed,
"I didn't expect that there would be a calligraphy master in the mountains of Qinling. Hehe…I thought those hermits with ulterior motives would only hide in Mount Zhongnan.”
Li Shi Min knocked on the door.
"Who is it? Who is it?"
A moment later, a child's clear voice sounded in the courtyard.
Li Shimin was stunned for a moment before he smiled and said,"Passerby, come in and ask for a bowl of water.”
In the courtyard, a seven or eight-year-old child holding a self-made brush in his hand sniffled and shouted,"Are they bad people?"
Li Shiming was amused. This little guy was quite interesting.
"He's not a bad person. I just came in to ask for a bowl of water."
The child wiped his nose and rubbed his pants."Then how do you prove that you're not a bad person?”
"This…"
Li Shimin was stumped. How could he prove it? At such a young age, he was still quite vigilant.
"Little bastard…" Zhangsun Wuji also scolded with a smile.
As he spoke, Zhangsun Wuji was about to peel off the wall and enter.
Li Shiming stopped Zhangsun Wuji and shouted at the courtyard with a smile,""Look at the wall of your house. I can go up in two steps. Why would a bad person talk so much nonsense with you?"
The child nodded thoughtfully." That's true…But Teacher Qin said that I must be careful when I live alone in the mountains. There are human traffickers selling children."”
"But if it's a bad person, then I can't do anything about it. Right, Teacher Qin also said that when there was no other way, one should go with the flow and take one step at a time.”
Li Shimin had always been sharp with his ears, and he was stunned when he heard the child talking to himself in the yard.
Teacher Qin?
This Teacher Qin was quite skilled. He actually knew how to tell the child to go with the flow and then seek to break free.
A moment later, the child opened the door and blinked at Li Shimin, then at the white horse outside the door.
"Do you want cold water or hot water?"
Li Shi Min was interested and wanted to tease him."Do you have tea?"
The child looked at Li Shiming seriously for a moment, then looked at him innocently and said,"
"Yesterday, Teacher Qin taught me an idiom. Uncle, do you want to know?”
Li Shiming and Zhangsun Wuji asked curiously,"What idiom?"
The child said seriously,
"Uncle, do you know what it means to take an inch and take a mile?”
Li Shimin was speechless.
Zhangsun Wuji was speechless.
